He shows her an episode of an old TV show that starred Shima as a child and begs her to convince him to join the drama club. She hesitates, but he provides no opportunity to say no, and she eventually worries about it the entire day.

Shima notices her being gloomy and asks if anything happened, and she finally spills the details of what went down. He explains why he doesn’t want to act anymore, something he left behind and has no interest in anymore.

Recalling Fumi’s influence over her life, she decides to help Shima as his good friend from now on. Meanwhile, Mitsumi is sent to Takamine as an example of someone extremely disciplined.

Mitsumi spends the day with her as she observes her entire plan throughout the day and the number of things she keeps in her planner to keep up with everything. Even during the commute, they study together on the bus to maximize efficiency.

They miss one of the buses and have to stall for 15 minutes which extremely distresses Takamine, but Mitsumi has an entirely different view of it, playing with a cat and enjoying the view. While she stresses over the time she wasted and how much off track she went, she has missed out on the more minor pleasures of life that Mitsumi never misses.

Mitsumi tries to create a schedule that matches Takamine, but the next day she tells her not to follow her example. Her personality has changed after spending time with Mitsumi, and she freaks out everyone around her.
