Plot
As Arata is reading Ryō's message Chizuru approaches him with a red phone strap that she is considering giving Arata as a Christmas present, wondering if it is too cute and if she should buy something more practical. Arata notes the strap has a similar design as Chizuru's hair ties and tells her whatever she chooses is what he wants as then seeing it will remind him of her.

Chizuru goes to the cashier and Arata follows her. Arata buys a blue phone strap with the same design, saying it is a Christmas present and also wishes Chizuru a happy birthday, having learned of it from the message Ryō sent him a moment earlier. Flustered, Chizuru thanks him and says it may have been the first time someone wished her a happy birthday.

It has gotten dark outside, and Arata and Chizuru go for a ride in the ferris wheel. Arata attaches the straps to their phones, and with a happy smile Chizuru notes that they match. Arata notes that it is usually the girl who gets the red one, and Chizuru replies that she chose it for him because she knows he likes the color. Arata agrees, saying he is happy with the red one. Chizuru then tells Arata she also wants to keep the blue strap as seeing it will make her think of the blue sky or ocean and remind her of him.
