At school, the children discuss their career goals, leading Yuzu to express her desire to become a model like Ayumi. Marika points out that models are typically very tall. Later, Kippei’s family shares a photo album featuring childhood pictures of Reiko, Kippei, and Satsuki. Ayumi confesses her feelings for Satsuki to her friends, who tease her by claiming he dislikes tall girls with long hair. Despite this advice, Ayumi decides to tell Satsuki she likes him anyway.
