However, there was still some distance between Ikuto and Mii, who couldn't speak honestly with him. Ikuto's team just couldn't decide on what concept to go with for their clothes. Ikuto also considered giving up on participating in TGC with Chiyuki. Meanwhile, Chiyuki managed to build a connection with someone who is very well-known in the fashion world...!!

Mii is the most relatable character in this series. Not the coming from affluence and getting by with 'connections' stuff. No. But she's so anxious and worried about failing that she never tries, and never succeed because she doesn't try, and every time she proposes an idea or starts to care about something she starts failing and would rather quit while acknowledging her flaws than commit to the idea and see it through. I like that. Mii isn't the best character, and she still annoys me, but I like her direction.

Ikuto’s struggle to balance his creative aspirations with the harsh realities of the fashion industry. His promotion as co-designer of his own sub-brand is a huge opportunity, but having to share the reins with the former solo designer Mii exposes his back to a potential backstab. Because of the situation of having two heads, their team just can't decide on the concept.
