Janu meets with Kio for a tutor session, but Kio is more interested in discussing memes and high-school awkwardness than actual study. When Janu insists on their academic purpose, Kio grows resistant, preferring to "chill." The conversation shifts to Eruka, with Kio revealing she is upset with her friend and is waiting for Eruka to acknowledge the tension. Janu encourages Kio to resolve the conflict by speaking with Eruka on neutral ground, specifically suggesting the common room. Kio reluctantly agrees to the advice, and Janu maintains his role as an academic mentor while fostering a rapport with her.
