One day at school, some students are planning to have a cup of tea after school; some girls begin to wonder if Aoi would join them. But Aoi is quite shy, and simply doesn’t know how to interact with other students.
Either way, the class girls invite her just to find out that Aoi has a lot of excuses planned beforehand. In the end, she refuges in her ideal of an easy going evening on her own.
