Yui and Ritsu face difficulties while completing university application forms due to their indecisiveness regarding their future paths. Nodoka recounts her history with Yui, explaining how they became friends in kindergarten and noting Yui's personal growth since joining the light music club. Mio and Ritsu subsequently share their own meeting story, highlighting how Ritsu supported a nervous Mio during fourth grade when she had to read her award-winning essay aloud. When Yui tries to list "musician" as her career choice, her attempt is rejected, causing Nodoka to laugh. Despite seeking advice from classmates, Yui remains confused and suggests she will simply do her best, a response that is also rejected.
