Maizono-san's Treasure

 * Maizono-san's Treasure by Tamura Muto (Pages 005 - 015)
 * Chihiro began to have a meltdown in the cafeteria at the thought of being stuck at Hope's Peak forever. Kiyotaka butted in, telling him not to bring down the group's morale. Aoi, who had been trying to comfort Chihiro, told Kiyotaka to leave him alone. Makoto and Sakura attempted fruitlessly to defuse the situation. Only when Sayaka arrived in the cafeteria did everyone cease their fighting.


 * Later, Makoto and Sayaka walked together in the hallways. He praised her for the way she handled the situation, and how her mere presence was able to calm everyone down. Sayaka asked Makoto if he listened to her group's music, and he confirmed that he did. He said it was special to listen to, because they knew each other in middle school. Makoto realized that Sayaka was happy when others listened to her music, and suggested she sing for everyone stuck in Hope's Peak. Sayaka hesitated, explaining she was scared to sing along as the songs were meant for her whole group. Instead, Sayaka offered to invite Makoto to one of her concerts when they all escaped the school together. They agreed they would all need to escape Hope's Peak Academy together, but in the final panel Makoto said that he would never get the opportunity to see Sayaka sing.

Despair Pool

 * Despair Pool by Sao Mizuno (Pages 059 - 069)
 * Makoto, Toko, Aoi, Kyoko, Sakura, and Yasuhiro decided to visit the pool. They found Byakuya already there, seeking some peace and quiet so he could read. Everyone reminded him that pools were for swimming, and encouraged Sakura to throw him in the water. When they pulled him from the pool, they found that the knock to his head had given Byakuya amnesia. Makoto quickly filled him in on their situation, and Byakuya uncharacteristically thanked him. Everyone was shocked to see that Byakuya's personality had seemingly changed.


 * The group tried to come up with a way to change Byakuya back, including ideas such as feeding him protein, turning his swim trunks backwards, and poking both of his eyes with their fingers. Toko suggested true love's kiss, and everyone encouraged her to give it a try. When she offered to Byakuya, he told Toko that since he didn't remember her it wouldn't be fair to kiss her now. This caused Toko to faint.


 * Byakuya then told the group that, despite their efforts, their ideas were terrible. He began to doubt their friendship, or the fact that he ever saw them on equal footing with him academically. Everyone quickly realized that this Byakuya was just as obnoxious as the original one, and Sakura decided to throw him back into the pool. This immediately erased Byakuya's amnesia, and he demanded to know who threw him in the water while everyone else was glad to see him back to normal.
