In this episode it is focusing on how Sora is adapting to her new life in school. That early on we see that she is doing all that well because of all the obligations and responsibility that she has put on herself. Where is has her duties as a student to study for test while at the same time, she has chorus club. Along with that she has to pick Hina from daycare, as well as doing housework at home. In the end Sora is trying to do too many things at the same time, that it is only a matter of time before she burns herself out. In seeing this she believe that cutting out the one thing that she is only doing for herself, is the only way to make time for everything else that she is trying to do.

Although, her decisions are paralleled by her neighbor Atarashi. Who decides the quit being a voice actress after her character she was playing was killed off, and afterwords was unable to find any new jobs in the field. However when Sora finds out from Yuuta that she is quitting her job she is shock, because Sora can find the reason in it when she believe that Atarashi loves doing it so much. While in someways this situation is ironic in how they both are quitting things they love for the good of their families. Sora realizes this when she runs into Atarashi when she was doing her laundry, and uses this opportunity to question her on why she is quitting. That it appears that she had a deal with her family that as long as she was able to find a job in the field, she would be allowed to stay in the city. However once she couldn't find one she would be expected to return home to the countryside. Although Sora fells like a bit of a Hippocrates by telling her that she should keep doing it sense she loves so, but at the same time Sora doesn't feel right tell her this since she is doing the same thing that Atarashi is doing.

Although after having talks with Raika and Yuuta, she comes to the realization that she can no-long not just do the thing that she loves. That with Yuuta's support, telling her that it is alright to not do everything on your own. That awhile ago when he tried to do that, he realized that he would in time just burn himself out. What this taught him is that you still need to do what you want to do but, it is also important to be able to depend on other people when you are having trouble. This allows for her to make the decision to return to her club, although it may cause difficulties for others. It is also the very thing that supports her and allow for her to get through the day. Then as it turns out that she was welcome back with open arms, it turns out that everything is resolved at least for now.
