During Part A, five characters attend a New Year's festival before gathering at the Inuis' residence the next day. They are joined by teacher Kikue Sakuragawa, who appears to be friends with Miiko. The group discusses their resolutions for the coming year, engages in various games, and shares a meal together. Part B takes place on a very cold day when a flu epidemic causes more than half the class to be absent, leading to an early school dismissal after lunch.
