Mono episode 2, titled Making of Some Aerial Photography! / Visiting A Classmate, 3000 Leagues - Motovlog Part 12, commenced with a focus on Kiriyama making a kite out of a plastic bag inside the clubroom. Amamiya entered the clubroom and admired Kiriyama's creativity. However, Kiriyama's goal in making this kite was to do some aerial photography using a high angle.

So, these two took the kite into the school ground, and Kiriyama ran to give the kite enough air to fly. However, the kite's aerodynamics were faulty, and it kept spinning in the sky. As these two mourned Kiriyama's failed experiment, Mono episode 2 saw their homeroom teacher asking them to visit him in their office.

After reaching the office, they were met with the news of the Photography Club's disbandment due to a lack of members. However, Amamiya also noticed the disbandment of the Cinema club due to a similar reason, hoping to recruit its remaining members into her own club. So, she rushed towards the Cinema Club's clubroom and met Shikishima.

Surprisingly, Shikishima agreed to join the Photography Club without any reason. Amamiya and Kiriyama even showed her their recent experiment of aerial photography, which made Shikishima comfortable. The next day in Mono episode 2, Amamiya and Kiriyama were informed that their club wasn't getting disbanded. However, they named their club as Cinephoto club, combining both titles.

Mono episode 2 then focused on Haruno, who was struggling to meet her deadlines. Out of nowhere, a bike rider entered her house with Taishou the Cat in his hands. This biker was Kako, Haruno's old friend. These two then went on a long drive while Amamiya and her group waited for them at the house.

Despite being a shut-in, Haruno really enjoyed the bike ride. These two eventually reached a café where Kako revealed that she was recording their trip the whole time. She recorded her bike trips and uploaded them on social media, where a lot of people saw her. Mono episode 2 featured Haruno appreciating her creativity as these two continued their exploration.

Unfortunately, Kako forgot to fill her tank, and these two were stranded in the middle of nowhere. However, as the ride was on a downward slope, they soared through the road easily without using any petrol and reached a gas station. Later in Mono episode 2, these two stopped at a café where Kako said she wanted to do something new, due to which she started recording her bike trips and showed them to the world.

The next day, Haruno met Amamiya, Kiriyama, and Shikishima. Haruno saw their aerial photography and was about to recommend a new angle when Kako again came barging inside the house.
