Golden Time

Banri Tada, a first-year law student at a university in Tokyo, finds himself arriving late to his entrance ceremony.

Linda locates Banri and Kouko and explains she had been on a retreat with the Festival Club, leading them to the group's campsite.

Banri discovers a photo of himself with Linda and returns to the bridge where his accident and subsequent amnesia occurred in hopes of recovering his lost memories, but he is unable to recall anything.

Banri experiences a dream in which he recalls confessing his love to Linda and remembers she promised to respond the next night on the bridge where he would later be in an accident.

Kouko confesses her feelings to Banri before being arrested for stealing a bicycle she used to reach him.

In a flashback, Banri learns from an overheard conversation that Linda does not view him as a romantic partner, leading him to emotionally distance himself from her for several days.

Kouko becomes seriously ill and misses school for multiple days, causing concern among her friends and classmates.

Ghost Banri, having returned to his physical form, is overcome with the desire to visit Linda.

Banri and Kouko travel by train and talk about Kouko's new nickname "RoboGirl," which she received in the Festival Club for her robotic-like dancing style.

Banri Tada works as a waiter at a party alongside Nana, Mitsuo, and Linda, while Kouko grows increasingly worried after Banri fails to respond to multiple text messages she has sent him.

Chinami sustains a minor injury and the group's vehicle is damaged in a collision that also affects the surrounding guard rail.

Banri visits the Golden Time restaurant, where the Festival Club is preparing for an event at the Fireworks Extravaganza. The club members' unusually warm and unsettling behavior makes Banri feel uneasy.

Banri confides in a doctor about the traumatic experience of seeing his ghostly double fall from a bridge, but the doctor is unable to offer any treatment beyond a sedative.

Banri begins to experience memories from before his accident, causing him anxiety about losing his sense of self in the wake of the events at the Awa dance festival.

Banri, shaken by Kouko's rejection, remains at the location where she turned him away, waiting in the hope that she might return.

Banri confronts Kouko about her decision to resign from the Festival Club, and she reveals that her choice was influenced by Banri's reluctance to be in the same space as her.
