◇The following contains spoilers
Mikami was at the facility where her mother, Sonoko, was staying. While the mother and daughter were talking, the school nurse, Mayumi Isshiki ( Asami Usuda), arrived.
Isshiki witnessed Sonoko calling out his brother's name to the emperor, "Kota, who is this?" "Kota, who are you?" He couldn't hide his surprise.
After hearing the story from the Emperor, Isshiki reminisced, "Kouta is terrible. Even though it's been 20 years since he died, he still dominates the hearts of so many people and has been in the news. I think he should stop trying to be the center of attention." Isshiki was the female student who had been talking to Kouta in the flashback scene in the previous episode.
Up until now, viewers have speculated that the girl in the flashback scene is Isshiki. On social media, comments like "What! Asami Usuda is that girl!!", "I knew it! It was that girl! She talks alike", "Isshiki-sensei was that girl", "She was connected to Mikami Sensei... she must be a pretty important person", and "It's amazing how everyone's predictions were right" were posted.
