## Summary

After spring break, March officially starts her first day as a first-grader at Minamoto Elementary.

At school, March excitedly introduces herself to come girls. They don't share her excitement and comment that her name is weird. A girl asks to see what's on March's head and March shows off the headband that her mother made for her. The girl says that March isn't allowed to bring such things to school. March points out the ribbons on the girls hair but the girl says they're different. March exclaims that she's been wearing the headband for 500 years and the girls laugh and call March a liar.

Yuki, Fushi, Tonari, and Aiko head to school and wonder if March will be alright at her first day of school. Aiko heads off alone and the group spot Hanna with a new friend.

The group look for their names on the class assignment sheets when Kasabe approaches them and asks if something happened to Mizuha since her name isn't anywhere on the sheets. The group, specifically Yuki, is stunned to learn this.

They find their homeroom teacher and ask and she explains that Mizuha transferred because of her father's job. Yuki is shocked since Mizuha never told them and Kasabe realizes Hanna really wasn't so close to Mizuha after-all, she even points out Hanna's not wearing the friendship hair tie anymore.

After school, Yuki and Fushi head to Mizuha's apartment and ring the buzzer for her unit. Nobody answers and Fushi tells Yuki that he thinks Mizuha isn't going to answer because he's been keeping an eye on her place and there haven't been any signs of her moving.

They go outside and Hanna asks how it went. Fushi tells her it seems like Mizuha's there but she won't see them. Hanna is relief and says something about having more time to do something but she's cut off by Yuki who realizes it's Mizuha's birthday tomorrow. Yuki proclaims that he wants to see Mizuha smile again so he'll do whatever it takes to do so. Hanna wonders what they could do to make Mizuha smile again.

Back at Minamoto Elementary, March takes a class photo, however, visibly upset.

Afterward school, Bonchien tells March "good job" and asks if she had fun. March clings to his pants and starts sobbing. Just then, Mimori appears and greets Bonchien. Bonchien tells March that Mimori goes to the school too and Mimori recognizes March as Fushi's mother. Mimori asks what's the matter and Bonchien explains he thinks March had a bad time at school. Mimori kneels beside March and tells March she's just like her.

Fushi teleports next to Bonchien, who's watching March and Mimori play. Fushi asks what March is doing and Bonchien tells him that she's making mud balls with Mimori. Fushi says he got a message from Gugu asking to see March all dressed up. Bonchien notes that it's perfect timing as March was crying until just a moment ago. He explains to Fushi that March didn't enjoy school much.

Suddenly, the girls who laughed at March earlier arrive with buckets of water to help make mud balls.
