Episode synopsis
Hoping to find her mother who had been replaced, Shinohara Mifue decides to attend SweetP's tea party, where all kinds of information gathers. However, everyone there is too absorbed in the sweets and none of them will listen to her. Mifue struggles to act dreamy-cute in order to get them to talk, but... Meanwhile, after Ritsu saw the end of their world, he heads to the old school building's music prep room to meet with Shogo.
About Caligula
Mobius is a perfect digital world for the imagined benefit of humanity by μ, a virtual idol program that attained sentience and self-awareness. Only humans who are suffering in the real world and strongly relate to μ's songs are lured into Mobius. Once they enter, people often forget that the real world exists. Regardless of age or gender, they are turned into students and forced to experience school life over and over, which μ considers "the most radiant time in a person's life."
