==Plot==
The next day, after a show, Haruka and Horie go out shopping. Haruka finds a brooch that she wishes to gift Park as thanks for all her help, but after she buys it, she is confronted by the girls from T-Set. The duo bully her because of how she defeated them and damage the brooch she'd just bought. However, they are stopped by Park's arrival. The manager reminds them that they are in public and that people are watching, so being seen bullying another idol could be disastrous for their careers, which convinces the girls to leave.
Park is grateful for Haruka's gift and treats her to dinner and a night of playing games at the nearby arcade. On a taxi ride home, Park tells Haruka that when she was younger, she'd also been a pop idol with dreams of performing in the Japan Dome, the country's biggest stage. However, she was secretly married and became pregnant. She aborted her child and did not tell her then-husband about it until later, which caused him to hit and leave her as to not get in the way of her dreams. Her agency learned of the marriage, leading to the end of her career. Nonetheless, she says that her ex-husband had sent her a letter after he saw Haruka win the first round of the Princess League, asking her to come meet him in Tokyo after Haruka wins her debut, since he wants to see if they can work things out. Haruka congratulates Park and promises to make her proud by winning the contest so that she and her ex-husband can celebrate it together.
The next day, Haruka awakens to a distressed call from Horie, telling her to come to the office immediately. When Haruka arrives, she is given terrible news: Park is dead, having seemingly committed suicide by throwing herself off the office rooftop.
