Aoba experiences a long-awaited moment but is unable to act on his feelings, instead expressing his excitement through an uncontrollable nosebleed when thinking about being intimate with Mano. This raises concerns about his ability to ever form a close relationship with the person he desires. Meanwhile, Shinozaki, an art student, focuses on painting landscapes, though he feels his work is missing an essential element, despite his specialization in this subject.
