Rumors spread that Asuka is going to quit, worrying the entire club, and though Asuka plays it off as not a big deal, she is able to attend less often. Haruka and Kaori find Asuka's sheet music and realize how much she wants to go to nationals, and Haruka speaks to the band members about the way everyone has relied too much on Asuka and put her on a pedestal.
