As the Common University Entrance Examination approaches, Ei sighs constantly and seems distracted. Arata is worried about her, but Ei returns to her usual self after arguing with Kujima. A few days after the Common University Entrance Examination is over, Kujima confides in Arata, saying, "Ei has been making a scary face lately."

It was the day of the acceptance announcement for Ei's dream university. Ei seemed restless and couldn't bring herself to look at the results. Kujima offered to look for her, but Ei refused, steeling herself for the outcome. Meanwhile, Arata, anxious to find out the results, hurried home as soon as school ended. What Arata saw when he got home was Kujima dancing ballet gracefully in the living room.
