Episode 2: Kisaragi Attention

Prior to the events of the previous episode, Shintaro's younger sister, an idol named Momo Kisaragi, has trouble arriving at school on time as she keeps inadvertently drawing the attention of her fans. This leads to a long conversation from her teacher, Kenjiro Tateyama, who tells her to make sure she keeps up her studies to avoiding repeating the year. Later, as Momo receives word from her agent that she has the rest of the day off, she looks back on her life leading up to this point. From a young age, Momo had the seemingly uncanny ability to draw people's attention to her, even attracting the attention of an idol agency. Despite this, she had also received disdain from her friends, whose own efforts were ignored as people only focused on Momo's works. After her mother succumbed to a sudden illness, Momo made the decision to become an idol. Whilst trying to remain low key on her day off, Momo runs into a young boy who ends up causing Momo to draw attention to herself, leading to both of them being chased around by fans. After Momo ends up losing her fans, along with the boy, she is approached by a peculiar woman.
