Akira Hoshino, director of Tingarla Aquarium, reveals a major initiative focused on marine life research and environmental challenges. Fuuka, learning from Misaki about sea turtle deaths caused by pollution, shows strong interest in the project. However, she hesitates to join because participation requires a two-year training program in Hawaii, which would separate her from Kukuru. Meanwhile, Kukuru attends an interview with Akira Hoshino regarding a potential transfer to the Breeding Department. During this meeting, she learns about the past of Tetsuji Suwa. The episode explores the conflicting desires of the characters as they face professional opportunities and personal attachments, highlighting the tension between career advancement and staying close to loved ones within the aquarium setting.
