  • Carmen and Roxane become friends.
  • Carmen begins learning from Gen. The butterflies keep a-fluttering.
  • There's an emotional chat, and then Carmen kisses Gen. Cue the romance. By this point it's super obvious they have it bad for each other.
  • Carmen and Gen help Mr. Hosokawa sneak to Roxane's room to spend the night with her. And then she and Gen go spend the night together in the garden. Chilly, but romantic.
