When the class ends, Maria Yagi approaches her and is happy that they are from the same class and know each other. Miyuki considers her quite dumb and doesn't want to spend time with her, however as Maria comments that the teacher looks scary and is probably popular, Miyuki comments that he looks down on them and thinks she is clueless just because she is younger.

The next day, Maria shows Miyuki that she got a ring from her boyfriend and asks if Miyuki has a boyfriend. Miyuki explains they broke up a month ago as he, like the rest of her boyfriends were quite boring. The next day, Maria isn't talking and Miyuki is relieved that it will be a quiet for a bit. After class she confronts Takayanagi, wondering why he looks down on the students, however Takayanagi explains he isn't and comments that Miyuki is quite smart. In that moment, he notices something from the window and rushes out. Miyuki then sees Maria standing on the edge and preparing to jump from the building. She also heads towards her and Maria explains she was raped, her boyfriend took her to a sex club in his college and they gave her some drug. Miyuki states that something like this isn't comparable to a death, however Takayanagi states it is and can be despairing enough to exchange your life. Miyuki wonders if she can be a bride someday and Takayanagi explains its possible and that he will hold a mixer when she becomes adult and call about four people, which makes Miyuki laugh. She decides not to jump and thanks Miyuki for being there to support her and takes her to karaoke, so that she can relief some stress.
