NieA_7 — Season 1, Episode 9: Close Encounter & After the Rain Bath

Episode synopsis

Mayuko is still upset with NieA's behavior while NieA decides that Mayuko's mood is caused by malnutrition. She heads to the junk yard to sell scap in order to buy her more nutritional food. When the junk man refuses her prices he suggests that she try a restricted area. When NieA goes there she receives a very strong signal from the mothership. Genzo shows up with more rice and he and Mayuko start talking about their childhood times together. Genzo asks if Mayuko still writes the stories that she used to tell him when he was depressed. Later NieA shows up with a nutritional meal for Mayuko - but she's been duped into buying a model instead.
