The school festival arrives, prompting the S Orchestra to perform independently without Chiaki’s assistance. Meanwhile, Chiaki is occupied with practice sessions for the A Orchestra’s upcoming performance. During these rehearsals, he identifies a specific element that was previously missing from his playing style. However, Stresemann instructs him to ignore this discovery and focus solely on their scheduled performance. This directive contradicts the advice Stresemann had consistently provided during all previous practice sessions, creating a conflict between his current instructions and his past guidance regarding Chiaki’s musical development.
