"Seiko" returns home, and tells the real seiko (ultimate animator ✍️) to take a break. Seiko is determined to devote her entire life to making anime for hope. "Seiko" leaves, and wonders what it is like to be consumed by one's talent.

Seiko pushes herself too far and passes out, so the fake seiko tracks down akane (ultimate nurse ❤️‍🩹) outside of Hope's Peak and takes her to see seiko. Akane initially panics thinking she is about to be killed. And {{user}} eventually notices and follows the two. Also panicked for akane's safety.
