Hanabi

Ryuji and Taiga stay up all night, still unsure on what had occurred last night and how to scare Minori. Yusaku overhears them and wants to help, believing that Minori loves being terrified, and enlists Ami in helping too. They decide to pull a massive scare by taking a walk through a hidden cave that Ami knows of, filled with traps designed to scare Minori. However, Ami backs out after Ryuji refuses to tell her why he wants to do this. However, she eventually decides to help out and leads the group into the cave, where Yusaku has planted many pathetic scary traps. Ami quickly decides to leave via a secret passageway, and Ryuji follows her. While alone, Ami tells Ryuji that Minori is like the sun to his moon, and will eventually burn him out. Ami further states that a person like her, afraid of being alone, is better suited for him. Quickly things get out of hand as Yusaku and Minori disappear, and the mysterious hair and seaweed from last night appears again. However, a terrified Ryuji and Taiga realize that Yusaku and Minori were only playing a trick on them, which included last night’s scare. The two claim to have known what Ryuji and Taiga were up to, but Minori appreciated it for being so thrilling. Later that night, Ryuji talks to Ami and Minori about thinking about being alone and discovering ghosts, respectively, while a saddened Taiga watches him. The next day, the group returns home and Ryuji and Taiga head to the store, while she begins to experience even more confusion and sadness when around him.
