But her straitlaced unwillingness to let him skate by in school earns her an almost chaperone-like reputation, much to Yusuke’s apparent disdain. Yet, despite his disdain for her hovering, Yukari is unwilling to let a new rumor about Yusuke spread. After following him home to discuss it, she watches him stop at a music studio. And in there, Yukari sees—and hears—a side of Yusuke she had never imagined…
