In ‘The Hibiscus Hair Ornament,’ Yu’s sister Sakura suggests that meeting new people might help spark Yu’s creativity. Wanting to craft something that symbolizes romantic passion, Yu accepts Himari’s help. Their conversation touches on romance versus lust, prompting Himari to jokingly suggest they practice kissing.

She later apologizes with a surprise: inviting Rion to collaborate on accessory designs and model them. Yu recalls giving a red hibiscus to a lost girl years ago—Rion reveals she was that girl. Himari learns of their shared past and finds herself feeling uncomfortable about it.
