Hana's love of storytelling draws the attention of the Broadcasting Club's president, Mizuki, who tries to recruit her. However, Hana has reasons to decline her offer.

Hana's enthusiasm deflates as Mr. Kichijoji readies the club for an upcoming competition. Why must she want to win? Why can't she just enjoy doing what she loves?

A spontaneous question causes Hana to freeze during her first broadcast. It's one thing to stick to the script. But improvising? That's a completely different story.

Hana makes new friends during a recitation workshop. Little does she know that one of them has a connection to Anne's past.
