Ritsuka is floored after hearing Mafuyu's singing voice and invites him into the band, but Mafuyu declines; Ritsuka, however, can't take no for an answer.

Haruki's friend Koji Yatake asks if he and his band would like to appear in a live show he's putting on.

Since Akihiko rode his motorcycle into town, he asks to spend the night at Haruki's place, prompting Haruki to think back on the first time they met.

Ritsuka hears a rumour that the person that Mafuyu used to date had died and is a bit shaken; Ritsuka couldn't build up the courage to ask Mafuyu about it, but then, Akihiko visits his place.
