General
- It is made apparent how much of an impact the death of Misha's mother left on her and her father. Before her death, Misha was a cheerful girl who tried her best at school, but after her mother's passing, she degraded to a Bratty Half-Pint who refers to her father by his first name and became a recluse.
- At some young age, Tsubame lost her father, and this motivated her to join the JSDF as part of his memory.

- Episode 11:
- The episode begins with a flashback to Misha's mother working in the eponymous off limits room. After several heartwarming minutes]], this sets the tone for the rest of the episode.

Tsubame then is forced to take the fall for Mimika and Yui by claiming that she entered into the room because it was too cold outside. The episode shows the depths of the trauma Misha faced when she lost her mother, and it is simply not pretty.
- Episode 12:
- Tsubame bluntly telling Misha that her mother isn't in that room and Misha's subsequent reaction.
- Tsubame's backstory as she tells it to Misha. Losing her beloved father and being told a white lie which inspired her to enter the JASDF in the hopes of seeing her father when flying through the sky. Of course when she finally gets to fly she doesn't get to meet her father and the fact that she understood it even before actually getting to fly arguably makes it even sadder. Then she suddenly gets ill and gradually loses sight in her right eye which denied her to be a pilot anymore. And her condition looks very alike to glaucoma which probably means she's soon going to lose sight in her other eye as well.
