Episode Description:
Kana is eager to reconnect with Aqua and tries to talk him into getting back into acting, offering a role in a live action adaptation of the manga series Sweet Today. She mentions she has connections to famed producer Masaya Kaburagi, who Aqua recognizes as one of names on Ai's secret contact list he found on her personal phone. Aqua agrees to take a role as an excuse to get close to Kaburagi. Kana secures a role as the show's villain for Aqua, but he discovers the show is a very low quality production. Kana admits the show cast young male models and prioritized their looks over their acting ability, and she has been forced to hold back her own acting talent so as not to overshadow them. She further explains due to her spoiled behavior as a child, she quickly fell out favor in the acting industry after she grew older and she has been slowly working her way back up. During a break in filming, Aqua manages to collect some saliva samples from Kaburagi's discarded cigarettes and overhears that Kaburagi is only taking advantage of Kana with no intention of advancing her career. Despite having gotten what he came for, Aqua decides to stay and go all out on his acting.
