* [[SuffersNewbiesPoorly Umiko]]'s relationship with [[NaiveNewcomer Nene]] isn't exactly great, but when Nene won a model [[AKA47 BK-47]] donated by Umiko in a raffle, she gratefully accepted it, though she wasn't sure if she liked it at first. Umiko then tells Nene she's out of her job now that their game has already been released as the company will now outsource game-testing services to one that specializes in it, but gives Nene her card so they could keep in touch. Cue TearsOfJoy from Nene. Umiko sure does have a soft spot for newbies despite being tough on them at work. She also gives Nene some programming tips when the latter was attempting to learn how to program code.

* Nene's homemade game. Though it's a very simplistic fantasy beat-em-up, Aoba and Hotaru seem to be really enjoying it. Nene also has a smile on her face as her friends continue to try beating it despite dying several times. Though Aoba is initially surprised to learn Nene managed to create a game entirely on her own, while she was merely a cog at Eagle Jump, she does seem genuinely happy for Nene. Overall, it's quite the accomplishment considering Nene only started out learning how to program code a few months prior and doesn't have any other outstanding skills like Aoba does with art.
