Story Notes[]
- On December 1, Sakuta is asked to bring Sara Himeji under his tutelage, alongside existing students Kento Yamada and Juri Yoshiwa.
- After he finishes teaching, and before he goes home, Sakuta discusses with Rio Futaba over the message he received from Ikumi Akagi regarding "Touko Kirishima".
- Sakuta decides to call "Touko", eventually finding out "Touko" is only available to meet the following day.
- On December 2, Mai, who was driving Sakuta to uni, spontaneously decides to skip her morning lectures and take Sakuta to a famous jewelry store. She picks out a ring that is within Sakuta's price range. Sakuta remembers to wish Mai a happy 20th birthday.
- After the afternoon lectures, Sakuta goes to meet "Touko", who is dressed normally, at a cake shop. "Touko" dodges several of Sakuta's questions, revealing only the release date of her next song and what she thinks of Mai.
- When Sakuta gets home, he finds out that Touko had already debuted another song, which his sister Kaede, and Sweet Bullet members Nodoka Toyohama and Uzuki Hirokawa, were listening to.
- Sakuta lets Mai know what he learned from his chat with Touko. Mai then proposes a Christmas Eve trip to a hot spring resort in Hakone, having already confirmed that Nodoka and Kaede will be busy on the day.
- Sakuta wakes up the following morning, having dreamed that he was spending Christmas Eve dating Sara instead. At the diner, Tomoe warns Sakuta to be careful regarding Sara.
- At cram school, after Sakuta describes his dream, Sara reveals that she had a similar dream, but sidesteps Sakuta's request for more details about her Adolescence Syndrome.
- After Sara leaves, Sakuta discusses the matter further with Rio, who postulates that Sara's syndrome could be related to the warning that Mai is in danger. Rio then reveals that her own student, Toranosuke Kasai, confessed his feelings for her.
- On December 9 at uni, Sakuta spots "Touko" in Santa costume again, who was filming the video for her song that would be debuting on Christmas Eve. "Touko" refuses to disclose Sara's syndrome even after accepting Sakuta's help to film the video. "Touko" also asks Sakuta to return to the same location at 4pm on Christmas Eve for the live debut.
- The following day, Sakuta is pulled over by Toranosuke for a private conversation. Sakuta learns that Toranosuke grew up with Sara and is entrusting her to Sakuta, to which he refuses. As they head back to cram school, Toranosuke reveals that he had a dream in which Rio rejected him outright.
- After their lesson with Juri and Kento, Sakuta attempts to talk seriously with Sara. Sara had already rejected several boys who had confessed, and admits that she doesn't know how to love.
- On December 12, Sakuta tells of Sara's situation to Mai, who is unamused. Miori Mitou overhears the conversation and, being popular with the guys herself, empathizes with Sara's situation.
- On December 14, Sakuta decides to teach Juri and Kento first, before teaching Sara. After Juri and Kento's lesson, Sara is given college-level problems to solve. Rio walks in on Sakuta's apparent struggle to explain one of the problems, and does it for him.
- When Sakuta explains to Sara that Rio could help her pass entry to a top college, Sara suddenly exclaims that she "wants" Sakuta. After a long silence, she excuses herself and leaves. This gives Sakuta a clearer idea of how Sara's syndrome is related to both the "Mai is in danger" warning and Toranosuke's feelings for Rio.
- The following day at the uni computer lab, when Sakuta looks for more "#dreaming" tweets, Takumi Fukuyama at the computer next to him, looks for winners of past college beauty contests. When Takumi excuses himself to take a phone call, he leaves his computer at the page displaying a profile of the "Touko Kirishima" that Sakuta had been seeing - Sakuta discovers her real name: Nene Iwamizawa.
- After finding out more about Nene, Sakuta returns home. Waiting for him outside is Mai, who is about to be driven off to her next film set by her agent. She confirms that a room of the Hakone resort has been reserved for them on Christmas Eve.
- After taking a bath, Sakuta receives a phone call from Sara who says that her former tutor named Sekimoto insisted on meeting her tomorrow.
- Sakuta receives details of the meeting. The following day, he goes to where Sekimoto was waiting for Sara, and is almost threatened by Sekimoto. Eventually, Sekimoto drops the matter and leaves, allowing Sara to emerge from her hiding place.
- Sara reveals that she is a clairvoyant, and offers to help Sakuta find out more about "Touko".
- After returning home, Sakuta drifts off in the bath while listening to a Touko Kirishima song, and imagines that he is Sara. He snaps out and realizes what Sara's clairvoyance entails.
- On Christmas Eve, Mai drives both Sakuta and Sara towards Kamakura.
- Mai leads Sakuta to a dessert store, instructing Sakuta to wait in line while she and Sara go shopping.
- Sakuta imagines how a conversation between Mai and Sara would pan out. He is interrupted when the dessert store's clerk passes their landline to him. On the line, Mai tells Sakuta that Sara disappeared while she was paying for souvenirs.
- They begin a long search for Sara, who is eventually found at Hokokuji Temple. Sara laments at the loss of her clairvoyance and having to be just a normal student to Sakuta. Mai also rejects Sara's request to borrow Sakuta for any longer, before driving them to uni to meet "Touko".
- Ultimately, they miss the live debut but arrive while "Touko" is still at the filming location. "Touko" accepts the mont blanc bought for her and prepares to leave, but Sakuta calls out to her by her real name. "Touko" insists she is "Touko" and continues to walk away.
- After dropping Sara off at Fujisawa, Sakuta and Mai arrive at their room in Hakone long after sunset, and they share a happy moment together.
