KOI NO KISEKI

Episode Eleven

Yukino's mother, Kaori, was in a coma. She was pushed down the stairs by Yukino, but when the police came, Kaori protected her daughter by telling them that she just slipped. But an unknown witness tells them that they heard Kaori arguing with someone. The police decide to delve further into the case after hearing this. They knew it wasn't just an accident. Ayako, who knew that Yukino was involved, decided not to tell the police anything, because she wanted Yukino to admit her crimes or she would never recover mentally. She doesn't tell the truth about what happened.

A group of detectives go over to Yukino's house. They had found out that Kurata Yukino was not her real name and that she was using a fake name. Yukino becomes worried, but like always, she tells them a lie. Yukino then appears on a gossip program and tells them that she was an orphan and didn't know who her real parents were. Of course, this was a lie. And in the end, she advertises her upcoming movie. But deep inside, Yukino was getting tired of telling lie after lie. She didn't have anywhere to go and anyone to tell the truth to.

On the other hand, pictures of Ayako and Ijiri-san embracing in public were sold to the media by someone. Also, information that Ijiri-san performed plastic surgery on various women in secret was released. It seems that Yukino got her former manager, Inagaki, to take the pictures, and she sold them to the media.

Ayako felt really bad for getting Ijiri-san involved in the whole scandal. There was no doubt that he would lose his license as a doctor. But Ijiri-san didn't seem all that worried about it. Ayako and Ijiri-san both looked at it with sorrow and sympathy for Yukino. They knew that the reason Yukino was jealous was because Ijiri-san was in love with Ayako and not herself(although Ijiri-san designed Yukino to look like his dead girlfriend). Ijiri-san decides to tell Ayako everything about his past.

On the other hand, Kai-kun hears from Hatsune that Yukino was probably the child of Ayako's father, Tsukamoto Masaharu, and Kaori. Kai-kun is surprised after hearing this, but nevertheless, he accepts the fact. At the last minute, he changes the script for their movie.

In the revised story, Ayako and Yukino are blood-related sisters. Yukino(her role) knows from the beginning that they were sisters and moves closer and closer to her rival sister, Ayako. Yukino is surprised after reading the revised script. Ayako couldn't get herself to say the words "I will forgive you" to Yukino in the script. Both were full of mixed emotions.

The rehearsal for the last scene begins. Ayako becomes a little scared while standing in front of Yukino, but when she sees Ijiri-san in the stands watching over her, she regains her confidence and is able to naturally say the words "I will forgive you" to Yukino. And Yukino is able to finish it off like a true actress. The rehearsal finishes, and Ayako tells Yukino, "Kurata Yukino is a really amazing actress. But I will surpass you someday." It was the first time that Ayako was able to smile in front of Yukino.

Around the same time, Ijiri-san has his license as a doctor taken away. But he felt he had to do something for his last patient, Yukino, and heads toward where she was.

But later in the day, detectives again come to Yukino's house. It seems that they had finally found out that she was really Goto Kaori's daughter, Goto Yukiko. They had also found her guilty of killing Tsukamoto Masaharu and being involved in various other crimes.

Yukino tries to run away but is also being chased by her former manager, Inagaki. Kai-kun comes to the rescue to save Yukino. But Kai-kun is thrown back, and he hits his head hard on the bumper of a car. Kai-kun collapses there.

Yukino panics and takes Kai-kun inside of her car. She decides to take him to Ijiri-san's university hospital. Although he was only half conscious, he is able to tell Yukino, "You are the one who showed me true love." He confesses his unconditional love for Yukino. Although Yukino said before that she didn't believe in love, she becomes emotional, and the two continue talking about love. She too was clearly in love with Kai-kun. She couldn't hide it any longer.

Later, Yukino visits Ayako's house. Ayako was surprised to see her. She tells Ayako that just in case she is captured by the police, she wanted her to take care of her baby. Ayako was the only one Yukino could confide in because they were real sisters.

After saying this, Yukino disappears.

Ayako and Yukino's movie becomes a mega-hit, and Yukino is being nominated for the best actress award. Kai-kun ended up losing his vision. Yukino's mother, Kaori, gradually recovered from her injuries.

And...Yukino gives birth to her baby at a hospital in her hometown.

But after giving birth, Yukino leaves the hospital. It was clear that her body was weakened, and she wasn't in any condition to even move. She continues walking and arrives at a little wooden cottage out in the woods. She begins weeping and sets the cottage on fire while sitting in the middle. Yukino was going to kill herself.

At around the same time, Ayako gets a phone call from the hospital where Yukino gave birth.
