Ayanokouji sows the seeds for his plan right from the start, by questioning Suzune’s resolve to choose someone from their class to expel. This puts Suzune in a state of irritation: because her brother has taken an interest in Ayanokouji, his opinion carries weight. It’s the groundwork that will make her receptive to what her Manabu tells her later.
Whether out of sheer concern for her fellow second-year Honami or simply a stitch in a larger tapestry not her own, Asahina Nazuna reaches out to Ayanokouji and informs him of the bargain proposed by President Nagumo. She believes he can do something with the information she gives him, and in his way the giving serves as a “prayer” that doesn’t require any other direct action from her.
Ayanokouji takes the rare step of inviting a girl to his place so he can confirm the deal Nagumo proposed to Honami. She doesn’t see any other way to prevent one of her classmates from being expelled. Ayanokouji won’t judge her, nor does he see any reason to judge her. That he was concerned enough about her to invite her over makes Honami happy, to the point she almost says too much about how amazing he is, and how his not thinking he’s amazing only makes him moreso.
Speaking of girls with a crush on our Best Psychopathic Boy, Kei calls Ayanokouji to inform him of an emergency situation: at least half of the class is planning to vote to expel him. He’s so calm about it over the phone that Kei assumes he must have some kind of plan, but can’t help but blush when he says it’s precisely for times like this that he relies on her.
That night Ayanokouji asks Kikyou to meet with him. At first, she won’t reveal the ringleader behind the vote to expel him, but when he says he’s unlikely to determine who it is in the time he has left, she changes her mind and tells him it’s the potato-face Yamauchi Haruki, who had been acting very smug and relaxed of late.
Ayanokouji immediately connects the dots to suspect that Arisu is using Yamauchi as a puppet to remain a degree of separation from his ruin. Kikyou’s change of faces indicates he is correct. In light of this, Arisu’s big bold announcement of a ceasefire might only have been an attempt to lull him into a false sense of security. That said, I doubt Arisu expected it to succeed.
Ayanokouji makes a call to Manabu, and the next day, Manabu meets with his little sister alone for the first time in three years. What a family. Even so, while he’s been harsh with her in the past, and Suzune is so intimidated by his presence she can’t help but fiddle with her hair, it’s a highly productive encounter.
Suzune tells Manabe what Ayanokouji knew she would: that while the rest of the class it trying to run away from choosing someone to expel, she wants to face the exam head-on. Manabe asks her how her school life has been, and while she can’t say it’s been enjoyable, it hasn’t been boring.
He praises her for widening her view and escaping her life of boredom. When he asks her what she thinks of Ayanokouji, she says she doesn’t really care for him, but does want to catch up to and someday surpass him. Manabe says that’s not possible, but she doesn’t have to: she should grow in a way that’s “more like her.”
Their talk ends with him telling her that to close the distance, she must step forward … and step forward she does, in the last class before the day of the vote. Armed with the motivation given to her by her brother (at Ayanokouji’s urging), she addresses the class as a whole, and points out the elephant in the room.
Someone has to go, but she wants to prevent that person from being an “excellent student” who could help Class C continue to rise. As she talks, her line of thinking is supported by both Kouenji and Sudou. Rather than discuss with the class who the person should be, she comes right out and names the one who should be expelled: Yamauchi Haruki.
Whatever future challenges the class faces, I doubt Yamauchi will play much of a role. He also has a criminally stupid face. But will he make enough of a stink about her choosing him that he’ll influence enough people not to vote for him? Suzune has taken a step toward leading her class. We’ll see if they follow.
