Mochi has asked Casey to meet her in the hallway outside the library after classes. As Casey heads there right after the bell rings, a nervous Mochi paces back and forth, planning to confess her feelings to Casey but unsure of whether she can really follow through. Remembering her parents' advice, Mochi takes a deep breath and thinks about all her favorite memories with Casey to remind herself why she wants to confess so badly in the first place. Just as Mochi gets done steeling herself, Casey comes into view, smiling and giving her a cheerful wave as they approach.
