The episode begins with a flashback to Nagato's past: After his middle school graduation, he is harassed by bullies until Anzai intervenes. Nagato's admiration for Anzai's strength leads him to later join KEEL, hoping to become stronger himself. But instead, he falls under the control of KEEL's tyrannical leader Natori.

In the present, the Furin members reflect on the aftermath of the KEEL conflict. Sakura struggles with self-reproach, feeling responsible for his teammates' injuries. However, the more experienced members like Kaji and Hiragi emphasize that responsibility and weaknesses are shared—a central theme of Furin's unity.

In a key scene at the Ashitaba restaurant, Umemiya gives Nagato advice: He should not forget the importance of community and the "taste of security" that can only be felt in trusting company. At the same time, Sakura's inner conflict is resolved when Umemiya makes it clear to him that his hesitation in battle stemmed from his concern for the others—a sign of genuine connection.

The episode ends with the dissolution of KEEL and a reconciliatory moment between Nagato, Anzai, and Tsuchiya. Lighthearted humorous scenes where Sakura is teased for his emotional reactions.
