*gives all the disappointed shippers a hug*
We might get a confession scene next episode and poor Reina will get turned down by her Taki-sensei. But our cute wittle trumpeter ain’t one to dwell on that. I think Reina is going to tell Kumiko that she’s (FINALLY) giving up on Taki-sensei and move forward in the competition without trying to impress him but because she wants to play for herself…and for someone important.
I’m down for a snobbish Reina! Also, imagine the pain on Kumiko’s face if Reina starts calling her “Oumae-san.”

Kumiko: Reina, what’s goin—
Reina: Kousaka-san.
Kumiko: What?
Reina: My name. Kousaka-san.

I don’t want this moment to end.
