◇The following contains spoilers
Tsubaki and Katsuo (Takeuchi) are having dinner together. The topic turns to Katsuo's older brother, Takahiro (Takashi Tsukamoto). Katsuo has always described Takahiro as someone who is better than him in both studies and sports, and who can do anything. "My brother is strong. I think he can endure anything on his own," he declares.
However, Tsubaki expressed doubts, "Is that really strong?" "I've always thought I could do things on my own, but maybe that's just because I didn't know how to ask for help. I've almost never relied on others or asked for help," she said, comparing herself to Takahiro. "Maybe people who are thought of as strong are actually just the only way they could live," she thought of Takahiro.
On social media, people were talking about Tsubaki's lines, saying things like, "Tsubaki's lines really hit home," "I know. I'm not the type to rely on anyone, but I'm not a strong person," "Aren't there a lot of strong and reliable people who can't complain?" "Tsubaki's lines are so profound," and "Tsubaki's great quote. What I like about this drama is that the lines said by the various characters really hit home."
