Ep. 3: Yoto confronts bullies and helps Azusa shed her facade with the stony cat
Yoto visits Tsukiko at night to discuss Azusa after failing to communicate with her. The following day, he confronts former classmates Morii and Moyama regarding their past teasing at an arcade, which involved false promises of a Hokkaido field trip instead of Okinawa. This deception caused Azusa to become distrustful. Yoto then takes Azusa to the stony cat, explaining his facade and expressing his sincere desire to be her true friend. Understanding his feelings, Azusa makes a wish on the stony cat, returning her facade to Yoto. Meanwhile, Tsukiko recalls a dream where Yoto advised her on interacting with children. She shows him a story presentation based on this memory, which he does not recall, and explains her strained relationship with Tsukushi, believing her sister hates her.
