Okay, after watching this episode I gotta say I'm very disappointed in the way they changed Kitamura's reason for behaving the way he did.

Spoiler:

In the original he never planned to confess to Sumire, he merely wanted to spend more time with her. When her plans got moved up earlier than expected though he freaked out as he was told the clock had already run out, he wasn't prepared. On top of that, she was going to be doing something he could never hope to do (Study overseas and become an astronaut), he was jealous and didn't feel worthy of her.

I felt like this reason and explanation was much more relatable for someone at his age.

Spoiler:

It's not Ryuuji AND Minori. It's just Ryuuji.

Spoiler:

I chose that picture as it'd be the one that'd carry the most significance to her.

On top of that the only other picture of him I remember them mentioning was a "Scary" one of him running. It doesn't really matter which it was though... but we do get to see the picture down the line?
