A Condition Called Love episode 4 recap

After the eventful Christmas Eve, Hinase and Saki reunite at the local shrine on New Year. Hinase introduces Saki to her friends, Tsukiha and Keigo. However, he doesn't show any interest in them because he only wants to spend time with Hinase.

Following that, Saki and Hinase go through an intimate moment where the former almost hugs the girl to "recharge" himself. He tells Hinase how much he wants to meet her after Christmas Eve. Sometime later, the episode shows a boy named Yao noticing Hinase at the shrine.

The next segment of the episode focuses on Hotaru's new part-time job at a bookstore. She is intrigued to see Saki at the store coming to meet her. The latter assures her that he will wait until her shift ends and then walk home together.

This happens not just once, but numerous times. Undoubtedly, Saki's kind act moves Hinase. She doesn't refuse his offer because she feels it may hurt him. While returning home with Saki, Hinase meets her family members outside.

Since Saki has come all the way to Hinase's house, the girl's parents invite him for dinner. Although he gets embarrassed, he accepts the offer. Inside Hotaru's house, Saki notices an album and requests that she let him see how she looked in her childhood.

Amid a lighthearted conversation, Hinase realizes that she needs to open up more to Saki Hananoi, something that she hasn't been doing. As such, she tells him the reason she keeps her hair short (her friend once cut her hair as a prank).

Hinase also tells Saki that the reason she has joined the bookstore is to get to know him better. After confessing a few things, Hinase feels better. She willingly pats Saki's head, feeling an unique emotion surge up inside her.

The episode ends with Saki leaving Hinase's home after completing his dinner. The girl wonders how long she has to wait until their next "recharge."
