A Recap of Episode 7 of A Condition Called Love

Continuing from the events of the previous episode, A Condition Called Love Episode 7, titled My First Confession, opens with Hinase Hotaru admitting her true feelings for Saki Hananoi. It is clear that her confession leaves the boy completely stunned.

Although Saki questions her about her emotions, Hotaru confidently responds that while love can have varying definitions, she is certain that her feelings towards Saki are indeed love. In turn, the boy opens up about his own feelings for Hotaru.

Saki insists that he desires Hinase Hotaru exclusively, without any interference from his family or friends. He inquires if Hinase is willing to accept him despite this. Just then, Saki’s grandmother enters the room. Hotaru takes her leave from Saki’s house, and he walks her to the train station.

Hinase reminds Saki about his words and suggests taking a few days to not talk. Saki hopes that Hinase will reflect on his words and give her a response at a later time. The following day, while out shopping, Hinase runs into Saki’s grandmother, who reveals information about the boy’s parents.

It appears that Saki’s parents are dedicated medical volunteers, who regularly journey between countries to care for disadvantaged children. As a result, they were unable to devote much time to their own child. As a result, Saki’s grandmother has been the one raising him since he was young.

Despite leaving his grandmother’s home to live in his parents’ old apartment, the boy’s actions show that he still cares deeply for his grandmother. This is evident when he took her to the hospital for a minor cut, showing his concern for her well-being.

In the evening, she reaches out to Saki to express her belief that the boy’s selfish attitude towards only her is misguided. Hinase also mentions that she is longing for his company. Later on, she receives a call from Saki and is surprised to see him waiting outside her house.

Hinase rushes to the door and embraces Saki Hananoi. Afterwards, they share a heartwarming moment where the boy places a gentle kiss on Hotaru’s forehead and expresses his love for her.
