In episode 17, Karina (Kita) misunderstands that the reason Yumi (Amano) is trying to quit ballet is because of the attitudes of Manabu (Aoi Yo) and Nagisa (Oya Seina), and gives her a lecture.
However, it soon becomes clear that it was a misunderstanding, and she collapses in embarrassment. Yumi carries the collapsed Karina back to her home, and although she and Manabu get on well, he decides to go home. Karina is stunned to learn that Yumi is planning to quit ballet and get a job. There are four episodes left in the drama, including this one.
