Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus episode 6, titled You and I Within the Realm of Memories, will see Ikumi tell Sakuta that the one way for her to cure her puberty syndrome was to forget Sakuta.

Amidst this, Sakuta will speak to Miwako Tomobe, a school counselor who came to see Kaede Azusagawa doing her part-time job. According to Tomobe, Ikumi regretted not being able to save Sakuta when he was in middle school, and it was still affecting her.
