In Due Time, the Seasons Change and the Snow Melts.At the end of their visit to Kasai Rinkai Park, Hachiman ponders how he, Yukino, and Yui will find a genuine solution to the challenges they face with their relationship. After buying them drinks and chatting about Yui's cookies, Hachiman prompts Yukino to tell him and Yui her request. Yukino explains that she wants to strike her own path in life instead of following in the footsteps of her parents and sister; her request is that Hachiman and Yui support her in her endeavours to become a more capable, independent person. To this end, Yukino resolves to move out of her apartment and back to her family home and smooth things over with her family. After Hachiman and Yui accept her request, the three of them travel to Yukino's apartment where they are greeted by Yukino's older sister Haruno, who is intoxicated. Flashing forward to the next day, Hachiman checks in on the frenzied preparations of his younger sister Komachi, who is preparing for the interview-based second stage of her entrance exam for Hachiman's high school. He agrees to meet her at the Marinpia shopping centre after her exam; while waiting for her, he runs into his classmate Saki Kawasaki and her younger sister Keika. Hachiman and Saki discuss her younger brother's entrance exams and their experiences with younger siblings before an elated Komachi joins them. After Saki and Keika leave, Hachiman and Komachi go on a shopping trip before returning home. Komachi insists on organizing the house and doing chores to make up for her inability to do so while she was studying for her exams. Afterwards, she gives her older brother a heartfelt thanks for his support of her, which brings rare tears to Hachiman's eyes.
