The preparations for a local traditional festival are in full swing and everyone is busy getting ready for it. Having been granted a day with Julian is the equivalent of Sakura's dream come true. Julian is a gentleman in every possible way and treats Sakura and her companion to generous amounts of snacks. Actually, eating is a big part of Julian's personality in spite of him having a slim physique. It's one of Life's Little Mysteries, but it's also a great socialising strategy as he also offers treats to Lee, which is usually helpful in descalating any contentious situation where the lad finds himself in, either with Sakura or Tory. At any rate, Tory is getting ready for a stage play and Sakura can't miss the opportunity to see her brother play the role of Cinderella, who has to suffer through her ugly stepmother and her equally ugly step-sisters. The story unfolds exactly like everyone knows it, until a weird mist engulfs the building and causes the stage balcony to collapse, threatening all aspiring actors. Containing the mist becomes a top priority for Sakura, but she still needs to make that no one comes under harm. Just a good job that Lee happens to be with her and does quick thinking just in time to prevent Tory and his girfriend from plumetting down to the floor below. By late afternoon, Julian invites Sakura to dance like the other courting couples, much to the chagrin of Lee, who reveals a jealous streak as he stands on the sidelines and watches on.
