I feel incredibly bad for Kokoro. The reality of her arranged marriage is setting in at a quick pace and she’s growing increasingly more anxious. 

Hanakago, her fiancé, wants nothing more than to protect her but she wants him to drop dead (understandable, in her position). 

Mr. Asahina, the art teacher, who is Hanakago’s best friend feels partially guilty about Kokoro’s marriage, due to his obligations to look after the safety of his students, but feels conflicted because he wants his best friend to find love. 

There’s also a rumor that Kokoro’s dad is not selling his company to Hanakago, and thus guilting Kokoro into an arranged marriage with a lie. 

(Wow, I feel like every adult in Kokoro’s life has failed her, my goodness.)
