Summary
Uotani continues to tell about her past and how meeting Kyoko and Tohru made an impact on her life.

Plot
Arisa was being helped by Tohru and taken back to her house. Finding it peaceful and the feeling of love there, Arisa falls asleep from her fight exhaustion; she awakes when Kyoko returns and joins the Hondas for dinner. After that, Arisa regularly visited so she could talk to Kyoko about life and for advice; while bonding with Tohru. Arisa decides to attend school, where she got back into her studies and helped Tohru with her own. Her gang is not happy with Arisa going straight.

One day, Arisa talking with Tohru in a hallway at school; Tohru mentions what she's cooking that night, to which Arisa accepts the invitation to join with hearty laughter. A teacher sees them and demands to know Arisa was doing to Tohru, misreading their friendly chat as some kind of shakedown; Arisa flatly explains they're just talking. Ignoring her, the teacher asks Tohru if she's okay; Tohru blankly wonders why she shouldn't be, confusing the teacher. Arisa realizes her bad rep is going to be a problem with maintaining friendship in public.

In cooking class, a student asks Tohru if Arisa is her best friend; Tohru goes into a panic at having such an honor, but becomes saddened if it's only herself that believes it. The rest of the class whisper to themselves about the odd friendship, as there is no way someone like Arisa could be Tohru'a friend; though the begin speculating Tohru might be putting on an act at school and could be just as bad as Arisa. Outside the classroom, Arisa overheard them. While their insults toward her don't matter, she's hurt that they would think poorly of Tohru. Believing it best to end their friendship, Arisa changes her mind upon hearing Tohru made a serving for her.

Wanting a better image and to put her past behind her, Arisa attempted to quit the gang. Kyoko arrived and saved her before she could be beaten too badly; though it's implied being the "Red Butterfly" spooked them into running. Arisa then took the right path, even meeting Saki and looking after Tohru with her after Kyoko passed away.

Presently, Arisa is being hassled by some girls before she helps one understand that there are other ways to show off. Arisa considers Kyoko's impact on her life, as well as Tohru's.

Cooking food with her father, Arisa considers their relationship before meeting Tohru.
