“What connects two people, even when they are apart?”

As Touma prepares for his study abroad in Paris, time quietly moves forward.
Meanwhile, Natsume is invited to join a training program at headquarters, recognized for his positive energy and potential in mentoring newcomers.

Yet, he chooses to remain on the sales floor as a beauty advisor until Touma returns.
Because “the Yurakucho W Princes” is where everything began—
and he wants to protect that place.

Touma may seem like someone who can do everything effortlessly, rarely showing intense passion.
But his driving force is simple:

He wants to be acknowledged by Natsume.

That’s why he aims to grow further as a makeup artist.
To keep being recognized by the person he loves.

…Surprisingly passionate, isn’t he?

Natsume had been waiting—perhaps for a ring, for something tangible.
But in the end, what connects them isn’t a symbol.

It’s something already rooted deep in their hearts.
And that’s enough.

Season 1 showed Natsume as earnest but somewhat immature.
In Season 2, he has grown—he can now see things from a broader perspective.

(Though, he’s still adorably emotional in front of Touma.)

I really love Natsume’s quiet determination—his “I’ll do my best.”

The ending is warm, bright, and filled with genuine smiles from the characters.
A beautiful and satisfying conclusion.

A gentle yet emotionally fulfilling finale.
