Runway de Waratte

Synopsis

Chiyuki recalls how Shizuku taught her of the most important thing in modeling: their aura. Despite being only a supporting model, she is determined to show off her good qualities amidst the other supporting models and Kokoro as the main. Chiyuki fights against putting down Kokoro when the latter has cuts on her hands, but fails when she overhears Kokoro telling Igarashi that she wants to quit modeling. Despite Chiyuki lashing out at her, Kokoro persists in her dream to design clothes instead of modeling. Igarashi recalls how she had cozied her way up as a former model, modeling alongside Shizuku, and was friends with Chiyuki's photographer Miwako. Igarashi realizes that she has treated Chiyuki unfairly and persists with Kokoro becoming a model because of her own sense of inferiority she felt. Kokoro is once again conflicted with her choices when she makes a beginner's mistake at Yanagida's, but she is let in after much begging and Ikuto defending her. Ikuto visits Toh's basement studio where Toh reveals his aspirations of wanting to surpass his grandmother. Following the meeting, Ikuto concludes that he wants to be a full-fledged designer instead of a patternmaker.
