Under the avatar "Fennelope," Fenneko befriends Haida and Shikabane in the online game and sets up a meeting with them in real life.

A suspicious looking man comes up to Manaka after an OTM Girls' show and asks her about "Aggressive Retsuko." Haida meets up with Tadano.

Haida tells her she doesn't have to come, but Retsuko insists on going with him to visit his family home — and it's nothing like what she expected.
