26

Before graduation, Osaka shares her hay fever routine with Chiyo. At the ceremony, Chiyo wins best academic performance and receives a standing ovation from Tomo and Osaka. The graduation song moves Chiyo to tears as she faces leaving school. Yukari is upset about a lost wallet, but classmates donate small amounts to help until Nyamo returns it. Nyamo is congratulated, Kimura cries over staff departures, and Yukari receives a flower bouquet. Kaorin requests a photo of Tomo and Sakaki, while Kagura considers keeping classroom furniture. Chiyo suggests an amusement park trip; Yomi agrees but is offended by Tomo’s comment about waiting for results. Chiyo bows goodbye to the school. Later, Yomi is shocked to hear she failed the entrance exam, but discovers she actually passed. As they head to the station, Chiyo realizes their bond will endure beyond graduation.
