Michael begins his first day at Toryo, where he quickly becomes extremely popular among his peers. Despite being a first-year student, he relentlessly seeks out Miki for attention, causing her significant irritation. His constant presence, both at school and at home, prevents Miki from spending any time with Yuu. Meanwhile, Yuu has made the decision to study abroad but finds himself unable to locate the right words or time to inform Miki of this major life change. At the end of the day, Michael apologizes for monopolizing Miki's time, an interaction that inadvertently causes Yuu's secret plans to slip away unnoticed.
