Godai joins a student teacher program at an all-girls high school where Kyoko studied and met her husband. His initial tenure struggles due to his weak will, though class representative Yagami assists him, viewing him as a wimp. Seeking information on Soichiro, Godai searches for old yearbooks during a break. Yagami observes this and romanticizes the act, assuming he mourns a deceased former girlfriend. Consequently, she develops a crush on him. The following day, Yagami brings friends to visit Godai's home. During this visit, she meets Kyoko and begins to understand the true nature of Godai's connection to the school and its history.
