In relation to the film, when asked "what do you keep in mind when building trusting relationships," Megumi said, "I eat a lot."

Regarding this answer, Ikumi explained, "We all eat meals together. I eat a lot myself. I basically build up my stamina so that I can stay healthy. We all ate the fish that we caught during the play, and that improved our teamwork. I think it's important to eat meals together."
