Niko's 17th entry relates that she's been re-admitted to the hospital for surgeries and physical therapy. She describes a tutoring visit by Maki, who is apparently going to study memory loss in college. She notes that Maki, who she sees as sensitive and tenderhearted, is near tears when they discuss her books on the subject. Later that night she writes that Maki left candy eggs hidden all over her hospital room.

Maki's 17th entry explains how Muse found out she was gay for Niko (among other members), aided by reading what Niko wrote about it. Maki fell asleep in the club room and talked in her sleep about having sex with Niko, Rin and Umi. She then describes Niko and Maki's date (which was depicted in Episode 1 of Season 2 of Love Live! School Idol Project). During that date Maki suddenly kissed Niko fiercely, and the moment was captured by a nearby foreign tourist with a camera. She pastes in the comforting email Umi sent her about her dream.

Maki's 18th entry describes her visit to Niko at the hospital and the sad irony that Niko doesn't realize they are discussing her when they talk about memory-loss patients. She pledges to restore Niko to the stage within a year.
