It's the last chapter of the volume which means back to hibernation after this.
Anyway last time though hard Kanade was having fun with all the fancy footwork, jumps and lifts that the pas de six required. However her partner, Yuuki, wasn't quite up to snuff and felt down on himself after seeing the strides that Akito had made. Especially as, having other things he wants to do next year, he couldn't feel as committed to working extra hard though Mitosho did convince him to put in the effort.
At the studio Kanade -- late because she had to renew her passport -- ran into Yuuki and was surprised to see him there since he didn't have practice that day. But he specificed he was looking to do it and to practice but later said he was thinking of pulling out since he was worried about dragging everyone down. Kanade wondered if he didn't want to dance with her but he insisted that wasn't it.
Over the next month the two practiced and Mitosho eventually picked up on Yuuki doing it because he's been crushing hard on Kanade. By the time of the recital Shouko and Julia were nervous due to to the increased number of people in attendance -- mostly there to see Kanade -- but Kanade reassured them. The three long time friends, who'd all started at Takimoto's studio at the same time, promised to do their best for their last event together.
