Story
The Mystery Projector and Projection Screen Jewel fell from the sky. Reiko kept it in her pocket and promised herself to keep it when she got home.
Madoka ran to Masaru and Reiko, who were getting ready to go home to give their parents drinks. "Hey, we three have very unique strengths and our chemistry is so much better than with Mrs Wheelchair," Madoka admitted. "Don't be a coward, let's form a team!"
Reiko and Masaru hesitated. They loved being with Yuu and fighting with a close friend, but Madoka looked much more experienced and they could all become better Precure together if they fought with her. Hence, they nodded.
Little did they know, Yuu just finished her piano class and was wheeling herself for convenience store lunch when she overheard the conversation. Yuu bit her lip in unease, ready to say the most shocking thing Reiko and Masaru have heard in their lives.
"So do you really think that Madoka is more important than I am?" Yuu screamed. Reiko and Masaru got a huge jump scare at that moment.
"N-No!" The duo chorused.
"We were only asking if she could be our Precure mentor!" Reiko lied.
"Liar! I can't walk but I can hear! I heard everything! We're done!" Yuu cried while sobbing aggressively and she left the convenience store.
"Don't listen to her. She's just being melodramatic and silly," Madoka said meanly. The trio then exchanged contacts before leaving.
However, when Reiko and Masaru left the convenice store, fleeting excitement was soon replaced by what felt to be eternal regret. They knew all along they wanted to be Yuu's teammate but in the hopes of "becoming better Precure", they ended banding with Madoka instead. It felt like this guilt weighed them down.

Reiko and Can-do talked about whatever that happened. Can-do didn't even scold her considering she made the mistake only out of impulse. Rather, she was asked to reflect on the matter while Can-do "approached Masaru and Yuu" about the matter.

After asking his entire family "to give him some space after a personal incident," his family respected his wish. Masaru was then sprawled on his bed, buried under his pillow.
Can-do called to talk about the incident. Even though Can-do acknowledged Masaru was usually a logical person and didn't make such mistakes, he was still asked to reflect on the incident despite being let off from a scolding. Masaru could only comply.
(Cut to Sakurachi residence-Yuu's room)
Yuu was sprawled across her table, her scores and study notes strewn all over the table. The state of her table demonstrated her mental and emotional state at that point of time: messed up.
Her friends turning their back for someone more popular than her. That someone also making remarks about her simply for not being able to walk.
All of a sudden, Yuu got a call from Can-do. Too miserable to do anything, Yuu just left Can-do a voicemail. She didn't want to do anything regarding a Precure anymore.
The next day
Outside the convenience store
The only one that didn't really care about the incident was ultimately Madoka. She just lived everyday like it was a normal day for a 15-year-old preparing for high school exams.
She had left the house because her parents wanted her to get some grocery shopping done for dinner. As she casually left the house, she was prepared to spend another day as per usual when two villains stopped her at the same time.
"You two now, Hitoshu-oni and Ijime-O?" Madoka asked in revulsion.
"Haha yes! Why not!" The villains chorused. "Spread, spread, spread the discrimination power everywhere! This is a world where only normal people like you get the happy life you want!"
"Don't change my other two normal friends!" Madoka screamed. "They are my precious teammates!"
"But you change can your wheelchair Princess to become like one of you!" Ijime-O reminded.
"That's-That's true!"
Around Tayoseishi
The Discrimination Power spread all over Tayoseishi, and everyone but the cures felt it. First it was Reiko who took her sister out to buy a bouquet of flowers for a holiday assignment and her parents' wedding anniversary. Then Masaru who was doing his local soccer training. And finally Yuu who was having another piano training session. When these three found out Tayoseishi was in trouble, they all ran together to band together to fight the villains, but not before some reconciling.
When the trio finally came back together, Yuu asked, "How are we three going to transform! You two, being discriminating b!tches, are barred from transforming!"
"You aren't any better from us," Masaru snapped. "You fell into this little pool of despair because of the three of us and now you can't transform too!"
Reiko sighed and took a deep bow*. "On behalf of Masaru and myself, we are truly sorry for our callous words. We didn't think it through and were just pressured to answer her question," Reiko apologised.
"She's right," Masaru admitted as he followed with a deep bow.
"Haha, nah," Yuu said cheekily. "Don't sweat it. I know you two will never want to hurt me on purpose." The trio looked at one another happy before whipping out their favourite InfiniMos to transform.
Transformation
Locking the InfiniJewels into the InfiniMo, Masaru removed his glasses while Reiko took off her headband. Yuu sprung out from her wheelchair and slowly saw herself stand in the presence of gravity in the first time. She then looked up to the sky and the InfiniMo and InfiniJewel came to her hands. Tapping their shoulders next to one another, they chorused, "Precure, accept my difference!"
Waving her phone in the air, Yuu released it before curling up into a ball, gaining her green dress. She admired her feet as if taking in the fact she can walk again, before clasping her hands and closing her eyes. Masaru and Reiko then went back to each other and bumped each other's heads for their new hairstyle. The trio's InfiniMos went to the side of their outfit, their weapons were summoned and landed on their hands and the trio jumped down to pose.
"Embracing everyone for their true selves, I'm Cure Embrace!"
"Respecting others for their strengths, I'm Cure Respect!"
"Uniting love and peace once more, I'm Cure Harmony!"
"Two plus one is more than three! That's what differences do! Go, Accepting Diversity Precure!"
Story
Near the convenience store
Even though Madoka was a very seasoned fighter, she herself found herself being unable to keep up with the villains' new upgrades. No amount of sub-attacks or physical attacks could defeat the villains, and Madoka was growing increasingly exhausted and weakened.
After being thrown to the ground for the umpteenth time, Madoka was beaten up with lots of scars all over her body. Her lifeless corpse was lain on the floor as she grunted.
"Hahaha! So little miss top Precure thinks she's the best, but now, she has fallen!" Hitoshu-oni mocked.
"As they always say..." Ijime-O added on schemingly.
"PRIDE COMES BEFORE A FALL! AHAHA!" The villains chorused.
"Don't think you'll be getting off so easily!" Someone screamed from nowhere.
Madoka weakly picked herself up and investigated the sound. She then realised her juniors earnestly getting ready to rescue her.
"W-What are you here for?" Madoka asked weakly.
"To save you," Reiko replied firmly.
