When Kaoru was reported as a "fake mom," the school was inundated with inquiries from parents and the media, causing a commotion. Mamie (Kawaei) said she would make everything public. Kaoru was determined to stick to the lie for the sake of Iroha (Aoi Ikemura) and "RAINBOWLAB," but she was ordered to attend a joint meeting of the board of directors and the parent organization "Ryuwakai" and clear herself of the allegations of identity fraud.
On the day of the joint meeting, Kaoru declared in front of the assembled teachers and parents that she was not Iroha's mother. "I learned that President Hidaka Makie was hiding the existence of a child, and I took advantage of her weakness to threaten her, posing as a fake mother and receiving payment. I was the one who suggested impersonating the mother," she admitted, and made it clear she intended to turn herself in.
Kaoru emphasized that Mamie and Iroha were "victims." She bowed her head and said, "Please be lenient with them." At the end of the scene, Kaoru got into a police car in front of the school gates.
On social media, comments such as "I'm in tears over what a shocking turn of events," "I can't stop crying over Kaoru's unexpected actions. I wonder what was going through her mind when she went there," "Don't go, Kaoru-nee!" and "I'm in tears. What Kaoru did was right, but it was so sudden... I hope she gets what she deserves." were spreading.
