Mei's father, Aihara Shou suddenly returns home. While Yuzu is surprised to meet him for the first time, she explains to Shou how hard Mei's been working for the academy. However, Mei screams at her to stop  when Shou just silently averts his eyes with hesitation. Shou tells his daughter, "I'm not returning to the academy." Yuzu is unable to say anything as Mei runs away to their bedroom, and that night she tries speaking to Mei again.
I know I left her when she 
needed a parent the most.
Mir ist bewusst, dass ich gegangen bin,
als sie mich am meisten gebraucht hat.
Sé que la dejé
cuando más necesitaba a su padre.
Sé que la dejé
cuando más necesitaba a su padre.
en l’abandonnant quand elle avait
le plus besoin de parents.
di aver lasciato sola Mei proprio 
quando più aveva bisogno di un genitore.
Eu sei que a deixei quando ela
mais precisava de um pai.
Я знаю, что покинул её,
когда ей больше всего нужен был отец.
