You got the basic connections right but missed a few details. Mizuki didnt just walk everyone to school – she was their actual teacher before becoming a screenwriter. And the “Unknown” that Megumi styled was actually Satsuki before her scandal broke, which is why theres tension when they all end up at the coffee shop together.
The love triangle stuff gets messier too since Akari doesnt realize Jiro likes her while shes pining after him.
