Episode Title:
Love's Sorrow.Episode Description:
Since Kaori is a no-show, Kōsei takes the stage alone, much to the audience's surprise. Kōsei plays a piano transcription of the set piece, which was originally composed for violin and piano. Following Hiroko's advice, Kōsei plays with a gentle touch, hearing the notes through his heart and not through his ears. As he uses this opportunity to prove himself as a pianist, he internally comes to terms with memories of and connection to Saki. Once he finishes, he hears a light applause, and the ghost of Saki no longer haunts him. He walks into the hallway and cries on Hiroko's shoulder, finally happy to let go of his sorrowful remorse. After seeing Kōsei with a smile on his face, Tsubaki begins to have tears, but she is torn between relief and regret.
