Kotonoha Broken

Kotonoha Broken is one of the fifteen possible fourth episodes in the visual novel and one of four episodes to follow Relationships Revealed, the other three being Waiting in Vain, No More Hesitation and I'm Sorry. In this episode, Makoto stays devoted to Sekai to the point of ignoring Kotonoha completely during the school festival.

Plot
Makoto and Sekai have just finished having sex, with numerous condom wrappers, tissues, and other items scattered around to indicate that they've had sex a number of times. They talk about recent events and how they have to tell Kotonoha about them because Makoto's in love with Sekai.

At school, the festival has started and the trio have finished building the break room. They then bully Kotonoha before asking her to prove that she's going out with Makoto. Kotonoha then meets Makoto and asks him to come with her. Makoto's about to say no but she then says that if he's busy, he can come later. Makoto then says he's going to see the festival with Sekai. Kotonoha begs for him to come and that she'll be waiting no matter what. She then bumps into Taisuke while carrying some chairs and he helps her carry them. Taisuke asks Kotonoha to see the festival with him but is declined. At class 3, many people are absent and Nanami also ditches them to go out with her boyfriend. Setsuna then tells Sekai and Makoto to go take a break and then discreetly mentions to Sekai that they can take their time.





Makoto and Sekai go and Sekai asks him to go somewhere when they run into Otome, who asks Makoto if he's free. Makoto says no and he and Sekai go up to the roof. Sekai says Otome's in love with him which he denies (wrongly). They then skip their shift and have sex multiple times until the festival almost ends. Sekai then goes back and asks Makoto to take it easy and invites him to the bonfire.

Makoto waits a bit before going back to avoid helping to clean up. Sekai then overhear a few girls (probably Roka, Ruka, Natsuki, and Mugi offscreen) talking about Kotonoha. Kotonoha told everyone she's going out with Makoto and is now being bullied because everyone thinks she was lying. Makoto sees this and goes away, unable to watch Kotonoha being bullied, when Taisuke comes to Kotonoha's "rescue". He says they shouldn't be bullying Kotonoha but the girls quickly turn the argument around, having figured out Taisuke's obvious crush on Kotonoha. Otome decides to set him and Kotonoha up and asks him to follow her lead. She then claims that they were confused about who Kotonoha's boyfriend was and Taisuke was Kotonoha's boyfriend all along. Kotonoha thinks Otome's misunderstood and tries to correct her when Otome tells Taisuke to take her to the break room to talk. Taisuke says they don't need to go there to talk but Otome tells him "just in case" and provokes him to rape her, her reasoning being that since Kotonoha's a virgin, she'll resist even if she wants to and will fall for him if he forces her. Taisuke calls it crazy but Otome then calls him scared which apparently removes all doubt in Taisuke's mind. Otome then lies to Kotonoha to go into the break room with Taisuke only to clear up any misunderstanding that happened earlier. They go into the break room and Taisuke, being a fool, proceeds to rape her and then asks her out. Kotonoha runs away to the bonfire only to see Makoto and Sekai dancing.
