Akari leads a city tour as an undine under Alicia's supervision, where clients discover an unknown flower garden. Afterwards, three trainees search for secret wonders in Neo-Venezia, with Aika and Alice competing to reveal unknown sites. During a planned maintenance blackout, Akari's fear of darkness prompts Alicia to light candles at Aria Company, creating a unique atmosphere and offering to share Akari's room. Despairing over her limited knowledge, Akari receives comfort from Alicia, who shares her own past ignorance as a Single. A flashback shows Akino advising her on finding hidden wonders. They witness the unexpected beauty of starlight through skylights, realizing places reveal different beauties at different times.
