For Golden Week, Shigure and Hatori take the household to a Sohma summer house in the mountains. Thinking Kyo and Yuki's preoccupation since visiting her mother's grave is somehow her fault, Tohru apologizes to them, just before they all fall off a path; in the ensuing bickering, she laughs to see them back to normal. Ayame visits the summer house, and offers to show Hatori the wedding photos of his former fiancee, Kana, but Hatori declines, saying he is past her. Back from vacation, Tohru and Yuki meet Hatsuharu holding a small tiger: Kisa Sohma, who had disappeared from home. Kisa stopped speaking shortly after entering middle school, because her classmates were tease her for her orange hair (an effect of the curse). Yuki is upset, because he too once withdrew from the world, but Tohru tells Kisa's mother that Kisa did not tell her what was happening is because victims of bullying feel guilty, as she knows from experience. Because Tohru understands, Kisa stays with her for several days until she begins to speak again. Seeing Kisa face her fears and return to school, Yuki resolves to face his own fears of not being good enough and agrees to become the next student council president. Meanwhile, his fan club visits Hanajima in an attempt to find a weakness in someone who protects Tohru, whom they resent for being close to "Prince Yuki." When Tohru has to take a make-up test and falls ill with a cold, she feels she has failed her mother until Kyo cheers her up.
