Ep. 4: Rumors spread about Yano and Yoshida, leading to a misunderstanding involving Sawako and Shino.
Yano and Yoshida become the subject of school rumors, surprising them when they discover Sawako is the source. Shino approaches Sawako to discuss the situation, but Sawako mistakenly believes she refers to ghost stories and dismisses it as a simple misunderstanding. Shino mentions making friends, prompting Yano and Yoshida to overhear from the stairs. Sawako quickly denies they are her friends before Teacher Pin interrupts. She later clarifies that her friendship level differs from theirs. Misinterpreting girls in the restroom as discussing Yano and Yoshida, Sawako worries about hurting them and damaging Kazehaya’s reputation. When Kazehaya asks if he upset her, she denies it but flees upon seeing people approaching, aiming to protect his image.
