Later, the members visit Honoka to see if she's doing fine. It seems that Honoka is still recovering and her leg was sprained. They start to tell Honoka that they won't be performing in Love Live so they forfeited. So their ranking is removed. Honoka starts to blame herself that she was the cause of it but they told her it wasn't her fault that it's everybody's fault. The members get depressed and so did Honoka. Later, at school they decided to do practice again. Kotori still depressed about not having the chance to tell her. At the rooftop, Eri said that we can still do it.

Umi standed up and told them that Kotori is moving to a fashion boarding school. That surprised them but Honoka got angry. Kotori tells she wanted to but she couldn't and she ran. Umi tells her that she was worried about her the whole time. Later, Kotori and Honoka text each other. Honoka starts to give up and says that she can never reach A-Rise. At the rooftop, they all plan to do a final live with everybody before Kotori leaves. Honoka tells that it was her fault and none of this would happen. The members tell her to stop but Honoka says that the school is saved. That there's no reason to keep on performing and that's it's impossible to go against someone like A-Rise.
