Summary
A doctor explains to Raku and Chitoge that Raku has amnesia. He explains that nothing abnormal showed up on the CT scan, and that they can only wait and observe. Chitoge tells the others about this at the park. Raku is unable to remember anyone, including Shū, his oldest friend. They all explain that they were friends with Raku, although Shū attempts to trick him. Tsugumi also tells Raku that he and Chitoge are lovers. Raku compliments Chitoge, which embarrasses her.

Meanwhile, Marika tells Raku that she is his fiancé, which confuses him. When she clings to him, Raku becomes embarrassed, which embarrasses Marika. When Raku asks if he was a bad guy, Ruri tells him he was scum, although Kosaki assures him he is a good person. Since Raku doesn't remember where he lives, and after some bickering, Chitoge tells Raku he is living with her temporarily.

Raku follows Chitoge back to her house, and sneaks him into her room. As Chitoge cleans up her room, Raku asks what she likes about him. Chitoge says that she likes his kindness, and Raku tells her that he feels at ease when he talks to her. Raku compliments her even more, and she runs from the room with joy. Raku notices his pendant, and feels like he remembers something about his past.
