What changes when there's a standard?
On the box of qualification books at Furuhon-ya's shop, there's a notice saying that a qualification raises your pay. If the notice is right, whether you pass also changes how much money you get.
When the goal is visible, you can think about what to study. On the other hand, what happens to the lives of those who don't make it?
There's life before the exam, too
When they open the exam book, how much there is to memorize comes up. Chiikawa also sits at a desk and studies.
Even for the same exam, is the place and time to study calmly the same for everyone? The scenes we've looked at here can't compare that, but there are things I want to check before we even get to the scores.
A result doesn't decide everything about a person
With exams, some people pass and some fail. Even so, you can go see someone with a sweet to celebrate their passing. The exam result doesn't seem to decide the relationship between the two.
