At label okinawa12, Janu encounters Sora Otana, who is deep in a one-sided, emotionally charged argument with an internal projection of her deceased brother. During this confrontation, Sora reveals the weight of her internal trauma and her struggle to suppress the memory of her brother, who appears to her whenever she writes.
Janu interrupts the episode and sits with Sora to talk. Their conversation shifts from the nature of the "façade" Sora maintains to Janu’s own hidden history: he shares the story of his younger sister, who died in infancy, explaining that he refuses to move on or forget her. This mutual disclosure of grief deepens their connection. Janu confirms that his feelings for Sora are genuine, while Sora admits that she has found this trip surprisingly refreshing as a reprieve from her normal persona. The scene concludes with Janu inviting Sora to read a poem she has been working on, which serves as an intimate bridge between them as they reflect on the complexities of memory and their own abnormalities.
