There's a bit of a 3-way triangle with Sanda, Takeru, and Ayumi, though really Ayumi is a self centered and shameless flirt, even if all in all he's done leagues better than he began with. Takeru proves that he honestly is just a good guy once again, and maybe a tad clueless sometimes. It's amazing how much he's done for Kyouya and Erika and their relationship, but honestly seems to be clueless when it comes to his own. Kyouya also gets to meet Erika's parents, though her dad doesn't seem to be taking it any better than the first time initially. Eventually everyone seems to adore Kyouya and he once again proves why he's actually a good match for Erika. Even the birthday plans, as horrible as they turn out, are well meaning and really do fit her personality and what she would probably love to do. Hopefully maybe the next time they go out won't be as much of a disaster, even if they can laugh about it in the end.
