told by the class bully that she has to clean the classroom by herself every day for a week as a hazing ritual, and then pile on more work when she excels in class. She is also bothered every so often by a clique of upper-class girls who demand to see her house and play with her belongings. A fellow transfer student tries to commiserate with Sayaka's plight as the new girl in the class, but is not able to convince her that things will change. Over time the rest of the class begins to warm up to Sayaka, even inviting her to go to the beach with them, but she refuses to see them as more than a bunch of kids. The situation with Sakaya's classmates changes in a later episode, when the school is ravaged by a large fire. The students are able to escape the building without being injured, but discover that their class flag is still inside the building. Sayaka initially refuses to help save either the building or the flag, but she eventually decides to help out. When she discovers that her classmates have drawn her along with the rest of the class on the flag, she is touched, and decides to work on her relationships with them.
