Ep. 3: Mahiru and Kiui Collaborate on JELEE Music Video Animation Project

3

Mahiru, Kano, and Mei discuss JELEE's future at a cafe, where Kano proposes syncing Mahiru's illustration with dance for a music video. They contact Mahiru's childhood friend Kiui, a VTuber and shut-in, to animate the artwork. After Mahiru learns Kiui stopped attending school, a flashback explains Kiui's isolation from her elite prep school past. At a school festival, Mahiru performs a play about convincing a shut-in goddess to emerge, using it as a personal plea for Kiui to reconnect. Kiui completes the animation, impressing the group, and reassures Mahiru that her lifestyle is acceptable. Kiui promotes JELEE's music video during a stream, then finally meets Mahiru in person after two years.
