Hario and Takara taking some kisses again. Takara should continue to disengage and not get caught back up in this anymore. It should be up to Emma to make a decision, at this point. At least Takara is aware how unfair all this has become. Also, is this chapter alluding to Emma having been with other women intimately while married already? I'm forgetting some earlier info. Were we aware of this before? There's about 11 more chapters from here to wrap this up (4 or 5 more on the Japanese side), so I'm wondering how that'll happen given how avoidant Emma has been up until now. It feels like if they end up together it'll be right at the last chapter, if at all.

Ya seems like Ema had an intimate fling with Kanon because she wasn’t emotionally fulfilled in her marriage. Honestly, I don’t think she’ll abandoned Hario anytime soon because she’s too dependent on him financially. Her renting a separate apartment and learning the ropes of running her own business may allude us to believe she’s planning on leaving Hario and being with Takara in the future. Takara mentioned her lease is up at year end and will need to find another place to live, so they may end up together. On the flip side, I have a feeling Ema’s favorite book that she gave to Takara might foreshadow their ending, so we shall see.
