Sensei watches his niece sing karaoke while Tsuneyo compliments her singing and Yasu watches in awe. Sensei contemplates if he should check if Yasu is okay, because she hasn't moved since he walked in, but decides that her behavior is part of her religion and looks for someone else to talk to.
He approaches Ayane and Karin. Ayane complains to him because he locked his door last night but before she can tell why he might’ve done that, Sensei points at Karin, who gets more and more uncomfortable with the conversation, and states that they were watching movies. Karin contributes to the conversation but gets sad when she mentions her sister. Ayane feels bad and tries to cheer her up by inviting her to their next Christmas pre-party.
Sensei says that it’s a bit early to make such plans, with Ayane quipping how time might suddenly get weird or start over. Sensei wants to know if that phrasing had some deeper meaning and asks her a few more questions, but realizes that she isn’t aware of the time loop. He accepts it and asks Karin about her opinion on time. When Ayane causes Karin to shout out in embarrassment, he decides to check in on the other girls.
He reaches Sana and Miku and requests Miku to not look at Touka. When she asks why, he tells her that she is carrying something she isn’t suppose to see. Miku accepts but wants to know what she’s supposed to do when Touka approaches her. Sensei advises her to scare her away by acting poor, but Sana points out that Touka is getting better in that regard. He tells them that they shouldn’t expect anyone to overcome their fears entirely. He mentions Miku’s discomfort with loud noises and immediately wonders if she’s doing okay. She assures him that she’s fine since she and Makoto arrived a short while ago.
He asks where Makoto is and Sana answers that she’s sitting on the bed with Imani and Nodoka. He wonders why Imani is here, but when Sana recommends to just ask her, he teases her too much and makes her cry. Miku wants to handle her and recommends Sensei to check on Makoto, which he intends to do since she will get in trouble for making Sana cry. Miku doesn’t believe that, but it happens once Ayane sees them.
