Synopsis
Iko accompanied her younger brother on the show of Heartman in Himawari Land. Shy was there, too, but due to her timidness, she bored the public with her stutter, however, Iko's brother wishes her good luck and she thanks him. He then goes to the rolercoaster with her sister only for it to stop in the middle of the loop. Their screams catches Shy's attention and she comes to save them, but Iko tells her to save her brother and the others first. Although she complained at first, she does so and Iko's brother is saved. His sister, however, couldn't make it in time as the cart started moving backwards and even with Shy's effort to save her, she is badly injured and interned as a result.

About a month after, Teru meets Iko's brother again but at a building which was on fire. A firefighter was trying to tell him that he should be away of the building but he says that he is Shy and he has to save those people. The firefighter tries to convince him again but to no avail, as he then says that anyone can be a Hero if they want to save and protect people. The building explodes and a debris was going to fall on him but he is saved at the last minute by Teru. He asks her who she is and she responds that she is Shy and she was going to take everything up from there. Left dumbfounded, Iko's brother observes her jumping towards the building.

After the fire was supressed, Iko's brother spots Shy and thanks her for saving him. Before she could apologize for what happened back then at the amusement park, he thanks her for saving his sister and himself, telling her that Iko fully recovered and could return for school. After that, he says goodbye to her and leaves.
