Janu visits Kio in her dorm room, where she is awaiting the arrival of Eruka for a meetup they had previously arranged. Kio expresses cynicism about Eruka's commitment to the meeting, citing past instances where Eruka bailed on them for college parties. When Eruka eventually arrives, a tense confrontation ensues. Kio aggressively criticizes Eruka for her perceived change in personality, accusing her of acting "mature" and "cultured" to fit in with college students while abandoning their shared interests like memes and slime. Eruka attempts to apologize for her past tardiness and absences, but Kio rejects the sincerity of these apologies. The scene culminates in Kio telling Eruka that she has nothing more to say to her until she returns to her "real self," leaving the relationship between the two in a state of unresolved conflict while Oki remains on a loudspeaker, observing the awkward exchange.
