24

Junichi feels sad about Tsukasa and plans to skip the Founder's Festival work. Masayoshi shares a regret from his childhood, urging Junichi not to repeat his mistake. Inspired, Junichi regains his composure. At the after-party, he asks Tsukasa for alone time and confesses his love regardless of her personality. She reacts with confusion and anger, beating him up before crying in his arms. Miss Takahashi witnesses this but leaves them alone. Tsukasa explains she organized the festival to fulfill a childhood dream of being Santa Claus, but now seeks personal fulfillment. Junichi asks if she can make him happy and kisses her. They light the Christmas tree in the snow and promise to bring joy to everyone. Ten years later, they return to their high school with their daughter to celebrate the festival.
