What Do I Want to Do...After insisting Shin'ichirō should believe her about giving her away her tears, Noe tells him of her mission to retrieve them. At school the following day, Noe starts paying extra attention to Shin'ichirō, such as waving to him while in P.E., and giving him seeds previously intended for Raigōmaru. Hiromi notices this and tries to approach Noe on her own, but cannot communicate with her. Later, Hiromi asks Shin'ichirō to introduce her to Noe, but after Noe learns of this she approaches Hiromi herself. Noe instantly sees through her guise, and although she can tell that Hiromi does not like her, is not angered. Hiromi later recounts this meeting to Shin'ichirō, confirming that she did not want to be Noe's friend to begin with.
