The Night of the First Competition
Following the Meikoh Cup, Inori tells Tsukasa that she wants to take the level one Badge Test. Once Tsukasa agrees to arrange it, he tells Inori about his past. In a flashback, he was inspired to skate after he watched one of Jun's performances. Due to his age, however, no skating club would take him. In high school, he helped a woman named Meiko Kago and managed to get a part-time job at her husband's company as well as being treated as a member of her family. With his paycheck, he started training with Hitomi. They eventually were able to go to the All-Japan competition, but ended up in fourth place. Tsukasa then cut ties with the Kago family after Meiko died of an illness. Back in the present, Tsukasa unexpectedly runs into Koichi and Yo, Meiko's husband and daughter, once Inori leaves. Koichi soon reassures Tsukasa after the latter explains why he left. Realizing his mistake, Tsukasa decides to reconnect with Koichi and Yo. The next day at the rink, Inori tells Tsukasa how she is inspired by his life story, and they both decide to properly celebrate her winning the Meikoh Cup.
