Ep. 6: Rika and Hanyū start anew while Keiichi challenges her despair during a tournament.

6

Rika initiates a new world alongside Hanyū but grows weary of witnessing her friends repeat the same mistakes that lead to disastrous outcomes. During a game tournament, Keiichi demonstrates to her that individuals possess the agency to alter their destinies. He illustrates this point by giving a prize doll to Mion rather than Rena, a choice Rena accepts without issue. This event mirrors the dynamics seen in Watanagashi-hen. Observing this shift in behavior, Rika begins to entertain the possibility that this new iteration of events might yield a different, more positive result than the tragic cycles she has previously endured.
