Synopsis

After finding the photo of him and Linda, Banri runs to the bridge where the accident that caused his amnesia occurred to remember more, but cannot. Unbeknownst to him, the spirit of the eighteen year old Banri Tada watches him, and explains that the fall caused his eighteen year old spirit, and all his memories, to leave his body, and that he cannot be seen or heard by the current Banri.

After returning to school, Banri meets with Kouko, who gives him a mirror that matches hers to commemorate their friendship. The next day, Banri and Mitsuo run into Kouko, who begins to act overly cheerful and dramatic about her friendship with Banri. Linda, who was helping Kouko register for classes, soon joins them and meets Mitsuo, while later inquiring about Kouko and Banri's joining the Festival Club. Kouko answers that both of them will join, while Banri wonders why Linda has not mentioned that she knows him from before his accident. At their first dance rehearsal, Kouko demonstrates she cannot dance (and is even nick-named "Robot Girl" by the club), which causes her to be depressed and cry. After calming down, she apologizes to Banri for her behavior, and confesses that she is still recovering from being dumped by Mitsuo. Barni comforts her, and reaffirms their friendship by using the mirror she gave him. That night, Banri recalls the memory from when he escaped the hospital; he had seen a flashing light from his window, and when he snuck out to see what it was, he discovered it was Linda, and as the two talk, it is revealed that she was the one who inspired Banri to come to Tokyo. Banri wonders why Linda has not mentioned any of this to him, and the spirit of Banri laments that he cannot tell the current Banri how important Linda was to him.
