Following the swimsuit pageant, Janu finds Sora by the pool instead of with the other students. Sora questions why Janu closed his eyes during her "fade to black" sign-off, prompting a conversation about his tendency to mentally disconnect. They discuss Janu paying for the vacation, which Sora admits helps her pride more than asking her own parents would. Sora opens up about her struggle with being self-reliant and her history of feeling useless when asking for help.
As their conversation turns personal, Sora shares that she is feeling mentally healthier and is no longer using forced smiles. Janu expresses his continued concern for her, drawing a parallel between his own past struggles and her prideful nature. Sora asks Janu to treat her as a normal girl rather than looking at her with pity, though Janu warns that he cannot simply stop caring. They agree to go to a convenience store near Janu's apartment to pick up items for the evening, leading to a playful exchange involving iced coffee and Juna, who is working the shift. After Juna charges them for their items, Janu and Sora head out into the night to walk back to the dorms, concluding the event.
