Nene’s Desperate Attempt to Escape
The episode begins with Nene determined to leave the school and the fabricated world created by Shijima.

He tries to persuade Nene to stay with him, but she refuses, stating that the person she cares for isn’t present in that reality.
Overwhelmed by the situation and the realization that she cannot escape Shijima’s influence, Nene seeks solace outside the school grounds.
A Glimmer of Hope and Hanako’s Interference
During her search for an exit, a mysterious floating brush appears, claiming to be an ally and offering a way out of the fabricated world. However, just as the brush is about to reveal the alternate exit, Hanako unexpectedly destroys it and renders Nene unconscious. He then carries her back to the school, raising further suspicion about his motives.
Confrontation and Unraveling Truths
As Kou and Mitsuba attempt to regroup with Nene, they encounter Hanako carrying the unconscious Nene. Kou, concerned for her safety, questions Hanako, who offers a weak and unconvincing explanation. Meanwhile, Mitsuba, in his School Wonder form, observes from a nearby bush. Hanako quickly notices him, suggesting a deeper understanding of the situation than he lets on.
The episode highlights the growing tension and mistrust between Nene and Hanako, as his actions and true motives become increasingly questionable.
