Aoi freezes in front of a climbing wall the same way she freezes in front of every mountain, except this time the wall is indoors and her friends are right there, and somehow that makes all the difference. The show knows the real climb isn't vertical, it's the three-step process of being scared, being shown how, then actually trying. You watch her hands grip the wall and you already know she's going to make it because this show doesn't traffic in failure, just in small people getting a little braver.

Aoi Yukimura and her friends set out to try something new: indoor rock climbing. The moment Aoi sees the wall, though, she gets flustered and worries about how tall and complicated it looks. Kaede Saitou explains the rules of the sport, and her explanation gets the girls eager to give it a go. The wall may look impossible, but with some support from her friends, Aoi may find she can rise to the challenge. The special is a short, lighthearted slice-of-life outing with a comedic touch.
