Episode overview
With the Sumeragi Group’s elite troupe, the "Blue Rose Circus," nearby, the "Sunflower Circus" faces a predictably poor turnout for its next performance. Mizuka, having resolved to take the stage as a performer, nervously peeks out at the audience. After confiding her anxiety to Ouka in the wings, she trusts Ouka's advice—"look at the audience before you fly"—and Mizuka steps onto the trapeze.
