An Old Dream and a Friend. As Aki is left bewildered by Shiho's words, Yori suggests that the real reason Shiho left SSGIRLS may not be what she said it was. With Shiho remaining stubborn about her true reasons, Aki throws down a challenge that if SSGIRLS can get more votes than Laureley at the culture festival, Shiho must tell her the truth. After learning about the showdown from Yori, Himari comes across Shiho working at a café and asks about what made her decide to aim to become a professional musician. Long ago, Shiho, who was pursuing the violin, became friends with another violinist named Kyou. However, after losing to Kyou in a violin contest, Shiho became overwhelmed with jealousy and broke things off with Kyou, eventually becoming unable to play the violin anymore. Still unwilling to give up on music, Shiho decided to pick up guitar, which Kyou had given up on, in order to surpass her that way.
