I found it interesting that the extra chapter is set just a month before Nodoka moves to Nagano, and as such her memories of her friends at the Mahjong Club (and by extension their promise) is still fresh in her mind. It's kind of sad how it no longer seems to be the case (as the majority has been taken over by Saki).
I mean, she doesn't even remember how Ako looks like (in her dream, she saw Ako as a grade-schooler), which doesn't quite match up with what the extra chapter shows (where they catch a glimpse of Ako at her middle school).
