Horimiya Spoilers
In episode 2, when Kyoko’s mother learns about Kyoko’s new friend, she tells the younger girl that she wants to meet him. Kyoko realizes that she doesn’t know Miyamura’s first name and unsuccessfully tries to find out what it is without letting him know. She is incredibly embarrassed when he does. Nevertheless, he tells her that it’s Izumi. At school, Kyoko completes several assignments for the Student Council, although she is not one of its members. Later, Izumi has a collision in the school hallway with Remi Ayasaki, one of the Council members. As she was carrying the notes that Kyoko just completed, they get scattered all over the floor. As she picks them up with Izumi’s help and hurries away, Izumi notices that she has left one behind. He calls after her, but she tells him to discard it.
The next day, the Student Council holds Kyoko responsible as the budget report is missing, and she can’t precisely remember what happened because she was so tired. Izumi steps in and headbutts the Student Council President Kakeru Sengoku for behaving badly with Kyoko. He then proceeds to reveal how Remi left the report behind, and the matter is solved. He later visits the Hori household to give Kyoko a CD for her birthday. The episode ends as Kyoko ponders about a life without Izumi in it.
