23 September, 2002
It is the day that the group all graduate from school. They all find it hard to come to term with the fact that there school days are over. The graduating students then proceed to the hall and are welcomed by raptious applause from their teachers, fellow students and parents. During the ceremony Chiyo is awarded the Kinran Award for getting the highest grades in the school. They then finish this ceremony by singing the graduating song "Aogeba Toutoshi" which Chiyo breaks down in tears at the end of. We then have scenes of all the different teachers been thanked and saying their parting words to the students from their home room classes after having handed out their diplomas. Tomo walks around taking pictures of her fellow class mates who have graduated with her. Yomi final learns that she has been accepted and Chiyo finally realises that even though they will no longer be at school they will still all remain best friends.
