After class, she remembers Honoka telling her about training by the local shrine and decides to take a look. After meeting Nozomi, Maki decides to support them and compose their 1st song.

Hanayo found Maki's wallet when she grabbed one of Muse's fliers on the table and ends up going to her house to return it. Maki tells Hanayo that her parents already decided that she was going to succeed their hospital and offers her support to Hanayo to join the group.
