Arisu also comes up with the idea to stream the concert from the roof of the Third Division's office building. While the Producer agrees to fund the concert out of his own pocket, the idols make all the preparations such as practicing the new song, creating their own costumes, and enlisting the help of the agency's other idols.

Meanwhile, Arisu wanders the city lost in her own thoughts about how she can't be honest about her feelings. The Producer eventually finds Arisu on the office roof, where she admits she's afraid to talk about being an idol to her parents in fear that they will reject her dream. The Producer then breaks down cries at his inability to help Arisu, which helps her realize there's little difference between kids and adults.
