Still unable to get permission to perform in Opening Ceremony and now facing the prospect that they will be excluded from the Ayanagi Festival all together, Hoshitani and the others try to at least get their class performance time slot back. However, through their exchanges with Irinatsu and Kasugano, positive feelings for wanting to be acknowledged by the Kao Council have begun to emerge in the group. Though others, such as Nanjo, voice their doubts and a past relationship between him and Fuyusawa lead the others to wonder where Nanjo's loyalties really lie.
Must be so nice for you all to be so 
full of youth, but that's not how I am.
Ihr seid alle so jugendlich, …
Debe ser bueno para ustedes
ser tan jóvenes, pero yo no soy así.
Debe de ser bueno para vosotros
ser tan jóvenes, pero yo no soy así.
Profitez de votre jeunesse
dans votre coin.
È bello che voi stiate vivendo al massimo 
la vostra gioventù, ma a me non interessa.
Deve ser legal vocês serem tão cheios
de juventude, mas eu não sou assim.
