Janu arrives at school to find his students, particularly Dayai, upset about a new seating plan implemented by Anii and Nirima. Despite Janu’s insistence that the plan is unnecessary and that students are free to sit where they choose, the class remains agitated. The discussion reveals that students are comparing the situation to the previous teacher's rigid rule and expressing concerns about being controlled.
The conversation shifts to a recurring mention of "Sora," a student and aspiring student council president currently away from the classroom. Eruka is particularly excited about Sora’s return, and other students note that Eruka has modeled her appearance after her. As Anii and Nirima defend the seating plan as a way to project an image of order to prevent Janu from being transferred, tension persists. The scene concludes with the school bell ringing; Eruka leaves and returns disappointed after failing to meet Sora, while Janu reflects on the mysterious character and realizes that Sora’s influence on the class is stronger than he anticipated.
