The plan of Hoshitani and the others to go on strike backfires, and, as a precaution, the Kao Council separates Team Hiragi from their friends. At a loss of what to do, the remaining company members are left feeling dejected, so Hoshitani takes off to go see the isolated Team Hiragi and his friends hear nothing else from him for the rest of the day. Meanwhile, within the monolithic Kao Council, Kasugano can't shake the sense of unease that he feels. He finds his attention drawn to Shiki, who is working extra hard in his position as leader.

Me preocupaba que si lo dejaba,
dejaría de ser él mismo.
et j’ai peur que si on le laisse,

E temevo che se non fossi intervenuto, 
Hoshitani-kun
E eu estava preocupado que se o
deixasse assim, ele não seria mais ele mesmo.
