But then he remembers: Belief isn't about certainty. It's a choice.
But Kaito isn't gloating. He looks exhausted. "You idiot," Kaito says. "I didn't show her that phone to destroy you. I showed it to her because I planted those messages two years ago. I wrote them. I made her think she sent them. Her memory of that night is foggy because I drugged her drink. She never betrayed you. I just wanted to see if even you, 'Mr. I Believe in Her,' would break."

Yuna admits: "Haruki, I don't remember that night clearly. But Kaito... he's back in town. He wants to 'apologize properly.'" Haruki wants to go with her. Yuna refuses. "If I'm ever going to heal, I have to face him alone." Reluctantly, Haruki agrees. But he follows at a distance. But then he remembers: Belief isn't about certainty
Haruki, watching through the window, can't hear the words. But he sees Yuna's face go white. She shakes her head, then covers her mouth. She runs out, brushing past Haruki without seeing him. He looks exhausted

Haruki feels the first crack in his belief. She lied? Not Kaito? Her? Over the next week, more "truths" surface. A photo from an old friend's party—Yuna, laughing, leaning on another man's shoulder. A coworker mentions, "Didn't Yuna used to date that musician guy?" Haruki's trust, once a solid wall, becomes a sieve.
She smiles. She leans her head on his shoulder.
