Kyoko Mogami is still working on the set of Dark Moon, and in this episode, she must assist the lead actor, Ren Tsuruga, with his promotional photoshoot. Despite Ren's initial aloofness towards Kyoko, she proves to be a great help to him. However, when they encounter a group of fans, Ren gets mobbed, and Kyoko is left behind, alone and forgotten.

Feeling neglected and useless, Kyoko decides to take matters into her own hands and create her own promotional flyer for Dark Moon. She draws on her deep understanding of the character and the story to create something unique and compelling. However, when Ren sees the flyer, he is unimpressed and tells Kyoko that he doesn't need her help.

Feeling rejected once again, Kyoko becomes resigned to the fact that she is merely a low-level assistant, unworthy of Ren's attention or respect. However, after spending some time alone thinking, she realizes that she has a valuable perspective on the character of Dark Moon, one that Ren may not possess. She decides to take her own advice and not let her fears and doubts hold her back.

Together, they brainstorm a new approach to the scene that brings out deeper emotions and adds depth to the characters.

As they work, Kyoko begins to see Ren in a new light, not just as a distant, unapproachable idol, but as a caring and sensitive actor who shares her passion for the craft. She realizes that her own talents and skills are valuable, and that her contributions can make a real difference.

In the end, Kyoko emerges from her experience with a greater sense of her own worth and a deeper appreciation for Ren and therest ofthe cast and crew on Dark Moon. She has learned that there is much more to acting than just saying the lines, and that true talent requires hard work, creativity, and a deep understanding of the characters and their motivations.

This episode is a powerful exploration of self-doubt, confidence, and the value of creative collaboration.
