Strictly speaking, this chapter isn't entirely necessary, but I wanted HaruMina to have a proper send-off going into the final arc.

With Minami practically being whisked away by Asuka, I wanted to bring Haruka's insecurities back into the forefront. She's already shown that she can have a bit of an inferiority complex when it comes to her relationship with Minami, so I'd imagine that she's the type to get jealous easily. She might ease up as time goes on (except with Asuka—she will ALWAYS consider Asuka her rival) but until then, Minami's learned that she has to reaffirm her affections from time-to-time. That's easy when Haruka's actually been the only one to truly sweep her off her feet 😊
