Thanks to Yurugi's help, Aoi was able to get Lion (Tasuku Sato) back from Shogo (Osamu Mukai) and was also saved. She once again expressed her gratitude to Yurugi, saying, "You've taken care of me so much."
Yurugi was a victim of domestic violence from her father and spent her childhood moving from shelter to facility with her mother. She always wore white clothes because her abusive father wore black clothes.
After hearing Yurugi's story, Aoi said, "I heard that the color white has meanings like purification, resetting, and being liberated from the past. It also means purity and justice. Oh, maybe I was wrong?" and tried to comfort her gently. "It suits you! Because I think you're a wonderful person with a warm heart."
Aoi tells Hiroto(Yagira) that she will be staying with them for a while. She invites him to come back whenever he feels like it, but Yurugi says sadly, "You're coming back? We're not family after all." Aoi hugs Yurugi and says, "Thank you."
On social media, comments such as "The scene with Yurugi and Aoi made me cry," "Okayama Amane and Ono Machiko's acting skills were so amazing that it brought me to tears," "It was amazing how Aoi's old character slowly came back to life through Ono Machiko's acting," and "I burst into tears when I saw Yurugi being released by Aoi's embrace" became a hot topic.
