There is nobody in the world that does not have his own internal demons to fight nor is there an empire or double life that does not eventually implode on itself -- a bitter lesson Hayato Kidokoro realizes one night as he writes a letter to his grandmother about his fortunes in Parthenon Productions being better than they actually are. Later that night, Yuu compares perspectives with Posi and Nega over the matter to conclude that Hayato's deception to his grandmother Takeshi has the same motives as that Yuu avails for her double life as Creamy Mami; for Mami, Shingo is too obsessed with his own issues as he charges Hayato the purchase of a quantity of star halos. If that is not enough, the office full of star halos the next morning becomes the forum for Hayato's grandmother Takeshi deciding to see things for herself. Dismayed at how poorly her grandson has managed his life, Takeshi charges Hayato the ultimatum to dispose the star halos in three days or permanently forsake his professional life in Tokyo. The ultimate silver lining of this crisis is that Hayato finds the courage to assert himself catalyzed by Creamy Mami explaining the limited utility of a strategic retreat.
