Original summary

In her first year class, a classmate named Yutaka becomes overly friendly towards Tooru, which bothers her a bit. Meanwhile, a new health teacher, Mr. Satō, becomes attracted towards Run due to her forehead, which naturally bothers Tooru. It is later revealed that Satō is physically weak himself. As Yutaka becomes increasingly clingy to Tooru, her friend Miho tries to keep her in check, though this admittedly makes Tooru feel lonely.

What happens in this episode?

Yutaka and Miho help widen Tooru’s school world, making the comedy less only about Tooru guarding Run and more about classmates trying to be included.

The important part is not a major plot reveal but how the episode arranges the group dynamic. Run’s cheerfulness, Tooru’s protectiveness, Yuuko’s embarrassment, and Nagi’s commentary create a repeatable comedy loop, while classmates and teachers add new pressure points around the edges.
