What follows is a nerve-wracking competition between Kyo, Adachi, and Kanzaki to be in Anna's group for the career field trip day.
The library scene highlights the insecurities teenagers face, especially regarding their body image. Hara's conversation with Anna shows how societal beauty standards can negatively impact self-esteem. However, Anna's warm and open-hearted nature helps put people at ease, as she treats everyone as equals.

Mint chocolate chip ice cream serves as a metaphor for their unspoken feelings, as Anna ambiguously says, "I like...," prompting Kyo to loudly clarify that it's "just the mint chocolate chip ice cream" she likes.
