The first-year class gets another opportunity to act, this time in front of a crowd at the Culture Festival. However, there are only four roles, and forty students, which only means one thing: auditions.

The Romeo and Juliet auditions begin in earnest. Yamada looks back on her pre-Kouka years as she finds her bearings in her role. Sarasa revisits a conversation she overheard between Kouzaburou and Akiya.

Sarasa takes the stage as Tybalt. Sugimoto struggles with a crisis of self-worth. The cast list for the Culture Festival performance is revealed.
