It is raining and everyone is having some tea at Mariya and Kanako's room. To pass the time, everyone takes out their card games.
Kanako starts a diet and ends up not eating anything. At night, she bites Yonakuni as she was starving and God decides to judge her.
It is Kanako's trial, and she is defended by Matsurika while Mariya is the prosecutor and God is the judge. Most of the characters come to testify.
