Episode 40 - Itsuwari no Koi

Tetsuya reads "The Universe of the Four Gods" while on the bullet train
Miaka, still in the illusion, is happy about going out with Tomo
But when she reads about the seven seishi of Suzaku, especially Tamahome, her heart beats heavily
Tomo asks her to study with him on Sunday at his place
Tamahome wakes up in town; he was taken in by his old master
Tomo and Miaka visit the national library, and she remembers something
Tomo brings her to his house, tells her their all alone, and puts the moves on her
Miaka thinks she likes Tomo, so it's okay if she sleeps with him
Suddenly, she starts to remember everything (in a weird scene involving her falling through a bubbly liquid - her mind?) -- then she remembers Tama and she starts to resist
Tomo says it's too late; he's going to rape her so that she can't call Suzaku
Amiboshi gets free and starts to play the flute, willing Miaka to hear him
Miaka grabs a pencil and stabs Tomo, shattering the illusion
Amiboshi protects Miaka; Tomo almost kills him, until Suboshi arrives and kills Tomo -- Amiboshi and Suboshi are reunited
Amiboshi tries to give his brother the potion but Suboshi drinks and gives it back his brother in a kiss
Now that Amiboshi is unconscious, Suboshi starts to confront Miaka at the edge of the cliff
