Episode Title: Self-Awareness
As Sakutaro continues visiting Kuji at his home, Kuji’s older brother Minoru, who lives in America, temporarily returns to Japan. When Kuji hears that his brother has come to look at the Kuji family house, where Minoru’s family is eventually expected to live, he feels uneasy.
On the day of the visit, the two brothers, each carrying their own insecurities and inferiority complexes, are still unable to close the distance between them even as adults. They quietly go about preparing to hand over the house. As they look around the Kuji home, both of them begin to reflect on their father Yoshiharu and the memories embedded within the house.

i must admit i don't get what went down between the brothers, or rather i didn't understand what exactly they agreed too. still have a feeling that Kuji just allowed his older brother to do what he wants & he went along with it. even if he didn't hear the conversation between the brother & his wife & felt guilty. his personality is so nonconfrontational i think he would go along to get along just not to make waves. & it bothered me as he has been in that house alone since their fathers passing & every nook & cranny has memories & the life he shared with his father in that place. so i hope he isn't being taken advantage off. not that i think we will get more on that whole subject. time will tell - but love Azuma he is such a mood & just being with him is such a positive vibe. like that slowly Kuji is not just getting used to his presence in his life he is opening up to him.
