Due to an incident in her childhood, Niina lacks confidence and struggles to fit in with her classmates. Feeling the pressure of her classmates’ expectations, she becomes disheartened, thinking, “Everyone worked hard to aim for first place, but if I fail here…it’s my fault…” However, when Marin asked, “Gojo-kun? Are you okay?”, he came to his senses and his anxious expression completely changed. “If it means getting Kitagawa-san number one, I don’t mind being a supporting character. I, I, will do it with my own hands. I will get Kitagawa-san number one,” he said, determined, and proceeded with his work with a dignified expression.
