Summary
Ruby has had a busy day, live performance, going to school, recording for television, preparing for exams and acting lessons for the movie. Despite going to bed early into the morning, she struggles to go to sleep and start rehearsing for her role again, which Aqua notices.

At Ichigo Production, Inc, Kaburagi approaches Miyako, requesting her to give Ruby a strict acting lesson and adjust her schedule. Miyako is annoyed with the request, wondering how he could even make such a request after producing a how like Sweet Today.

Meanwhile Kana is acting on a set directed by Shima. Despite the difficulty of the role, she performs beyond expectations. Kana then asks Ruby, who is at the film set, whether observing her acting was helpful. Ruby can feel the difference in skill between the two of them and so she asks Kana how she does it. Kana advises her to understand one self.

Back home, Ruby tries to take on the advice but inevitably her thoughts drift back to her time as Sarina and the questions lingers on her mind whether her mother loved her or not.
