In this opening episode, Tamaki discovers an old sketchbook tucked away in her closet, where the drawings reveal a deeper connection to her past with Rouma. At the same time, Rouma's kickboxing club faces closure due to a lack of members, though he remains unfazed and turns to his art studies instead. After an encounter where he protects Misaki from unwanted attention, she starts to show interest in him, while Tamaki begins questioning if their long-standing friendship is enough.
