As the two go through each of the ten steps, Shirotani’s attraction to his counselor grows. Seeing Kurose for the first time in two months, Shirotani takes a big step forward in their relationship—and his treatment—by holding hands with Kurose. Then, after Kurose fails to invite him home, Shirotani chases after him! Could this new, more impulsive side of Shirotani signal a new phase in this tumultuous relationship?
