Miki confronts Yuu regarding his unilateral decision to study abroad, feeling betrayed by his lack of consultation. Although Yuu reassures her that his affection remains constant, Miki’s insecurity leads her to view his career ambitions as a personal slight. The two remain estranged on the day of their third-year graduation. Desperate for a last-minute prom date to prank Yuu, Miwa asks Miki to accompany him. Miki enjoys the evening, dressed up by her mothers, while Miwa shares regrets about losing Meiko to Namura due to a lack of consideration for her future.
