Synopsis: Looking for Happiness

On her first day of high school, memories of her deceased brother lingered in Hikaru's mind as she contemplated conversations with him. During her typical teenage experiences, she formed a friendship with the determined Nene. Nene motivated Hikaru to pursue her crush Michiya, who bore an uncanny resemblance to her departed brother. Hikaru seized the opportunity to plant a kiss on Michiya, but her merriment was swiftly dashed when he proved to be nothing like her beloved sibling. Meanwhile, Nene's shoplifting problem was exposed, which led Hikaru to express her disapproval. As a result, Nene lashed out at Hikaru and suggested that she find new friends.
