SHOSHIMIN season 2 episode 1 recap

SHOSHIMIN season 2 episode 1, A Warm Winter (Part 1), commenced with a focus on Osanai and Takahiro inside a cafe. Witnessing Takahiro's worried expression, Osanai asked him what was worrying him. Takahiro then pulled out the school newspaper, claiming he wanted to write a section in it, hoping to eternalize his name in the school's history.
For this purpose, he asked Osanai to request her friend, student council president Dojima, to give him a chance. So, Osanai put her word to Dojima, and in the next student council meeting, Takahiro proposed his idea for the story. Even though no one was willing to help him, Dojima approved Takahiro's story.

The next day, Takahiro reached a dead end with his story. So, his friend introduced him to a recent arson story, hoping to intrigue Takahiro's interest. As expected, Takahiro felt this story might work, and he started working on it by asking other students. However, as he got close to solving the mystery, Takahiro felt that the mystery might be lukewarm.
However, he kept researching and eventually came up with a perfect story for the school newspaper. Later in the episode, the focus turned towards Kobato, who visited a convenience store late at night. However, on his way, the protagonist saw an arson, suggesting that there might be more to this mystery.
