Nika discovered Kurumi's feelings by chance, and the two started dating. Kurumi was ecstatic that a person she loved finally agreed to go out with her. Although Nika was unable to forget her feelings for her childhood friend Jun, their feelings deepened as their relationship progressed. In the midst of this, Kurumi discovered a terrible truth. Jun actually does love Nika back, so their feelings were mutual! Torn between her wish that Nika be happy and her fear of losing her, Kurumi suffered unbearable internal conflict. "Who do you really want to be with? Figure out your true feelngs." And thus, Kurumi left their future in Nika's hands. Nika had trouble coming up with a response, but with a push from Kyou, she decided to go speak to Jun so that she could find an answer. After seeing Jun again after so long, she noticed her feelings had changed. But suddenly the wind ripped away one of the gloves Kurumi had given her, and Nika, without thinking, dove into the street.
