The episode begins with our Kuga, who is delighted about the approval of his design. He credits his success to his colleague Goshiki and expresses his desire to see her happy face again. At the same time, we see Goshiki herself, who has been trying to work as an assistant for other artists. However, her efforts encounter difficulties, as her work doesn’t align with the design. Her disappointment about this situation is evident, and Kuga, sensing her despair, tries to cheer her up by suggesting they celebrate at a grill restaurant.

Our characters then make their way to a local grill restaurant, known for its top-quality meat and tempting curry. Here, we gain deeper insight into Goshiki’s unfamiliarity with urban life, revealing her island upbringing. She is thrilled by yakiniku and shows her willingness to embrace new experiences.

Back at the Hiiragi Apartments, Goshiki reflects on the day and how it helped her realize that she must continue learning and growing—a feeling that deeply touches Kuga as well. As the episode progresses, we see Kuga struggling to articulate his thoughts to Goshiki, ultimately leading to his decision to write her a letter.

In a comedic turn, Kuga’s letter transforms into a manga, where he attempts to express his admiration for Goshiki’s resilience and honesty. He emphasizes her ability to admit her weaknesses and bounce back from challenges, a trait he finds both admirable and inspiring. Despite his initial hesitation about sharing his thoughts, he finally hands the letter to Goshiki.

However, the reception of the letter doesn’t go as smoothly as Kuga had hoped, leaving him worried that he made a mistake. But to his relief, Goshiki is delighted by his efforts, proving his concern was unwarranted.

Meanwhile, Goshiki decides to improve her skills and begins reading classic manga to learn more about the industry. She also commits to practicing the techniques that were pointed out as her weaknesses, demonstrating her determination to overcome her obstacles and grow. This focus and resolve stand in stark contrast to Kuga’s initial doubts about her abilities, highlighting her development throughout the episode.

In the final act of the episode, a phone call between Kuga and another artist, Sano, sheds light on Goshiki’s affection for Kuga, making it clear that there’s more to their relationship than simple camaraderie.
