As Akari continues to struggle on her own, Ichigo tries to think of a way to help her out. Thinking about her experiences in America, Ichigo decides to open the letter Aoi gave her back then, reminding her that no matter the time or place, she can always talk to her. Inspired by Aoi's words of never losing sight of your goals, Ichigo gets Akari to confide in her about her problems and helps her to perfect her Special Appeal. Thanks to Ichigo's support, Akari manages to perform a Special Appeal and pass the training camp.
