Summary
Nanaki has always wanted to be cuter than anyone else. She remembers her initial impression of Kanade Kurokawa.

After school she meets her boyfriend of three months, Hiro.

Her friends share an image of Hiro kissing another girl, and confronting him over this, Nanaki hears he is done with her.

Beginning to cry, she is ultimately concerned with her tears affecting her appearance.

Kanade falls out a nearby broom cupboard. She was reading when Nanaki and Hiro appeared so had to hide. Nanaki tells her to laugh at her state after looking down on her. Having no intent to do so, Kanade tells her anyone would feel sad after the one they loved said horrible things to them.

Allowing herself to cry without concern for her appearance, with Kanade beside her, Nanaki feels a sense of serenity.
