Following the festival, Kumiko starts noticing a discrepancy between Asuka's sunny shell and her underlying strain. The tension hints at personal pressures that could affect the band's dynamics. This marks a shift in Kumiko's perception of her senior.

The band enters a rigorous training camp as they prepare for the national competition. The sessions push each member to their limit and intensify competitive pressure. Asuka's role remains central, though her future with the band is increasingly questioned.

Noboru Taki reveals plans for an open-area concert at a train station to showcase the band's repertoire. The idea builds anticipation and signals an ambitious push toward the nationals. The scheme also foreshadows the challenges to come for Asuka.

Kumiko finds Asuka and her mother Akemi in the faculty room, where Akemi pressures Mr. Taki to have Asuka resign from the band for her entrance exams. The scene exposes the family's expectations clashing with Asuka's musical dreams. Rumors begin to spread among the band about her possible departure.

Word spreads that Asuka might quit, prompting the band to rally around her. Band president Haruka Ogasawara urges everyone to show their support rather than abandon her. The solidarity attempt underscores the fragility of their ensemble.

During the station concert, Asuka arrives and joins the band on stage to perform 'Takarajima'. The performance marks a critical moment of reconciliation and proves her commitment to the ensemble. The audience and band witnesses a renewed energy.

After the station concert, Asuka begins attending band practice less frequently. Mr. Taki announces that she could be replaced by Natsuki Nakagawa if she does not continue by the end of the week. The clock runs on her decision, heightening tension within the group.

During a break, Asuka invites Kumiko to the riverbank to listen to a piece composed by her father. The intimate moment deepens Kumiko's appreciation of Asuka's background. It also foreshadows the connection between family legacy and competition.

At the school, Kumiko overhears Asuka deciding to prioritize the entrance exam instead of the band. She pleads with Asuka to rethink, hoping she won't regret the decision. However, Asuka plans to use the mock exam as leverage to persuade her mother.

Kitauji High School Concert Band performs 'Crescent Moon Dance' at nationals but fails to win, earning a bronze medal. The result underscores the emotional and musical costs of their sacrifices. Mr. Taki later receives a message from Asuka's father complimenting her performance.
