Hinata and Kokona manage to reach the summit in time to watch the sunrise. Meanwhile, as Aoi and Kaede watch from the 8th station, Aoi feels frustrated that she wasn't able to make it to the summit herself. Later, Hinata and Kokona decide to circle around the basin at the top of the mountain, eventually reaching the highest peak, while Aoi and Kaede make their descent back towards the 5th station. After the group reassemble and head on the bus back, Aoi is left downhearted by the experience.
