Subsequently, the event continued with the "nglaras memitran" session. During this session, students from the 2022 and 2023 cohorts had the opportunity to get to know each other. The hosts made this session more engaging by dividing participants into small groups. Each group member had to remember the names of all their group members. For those who couldn't mention their friends' names, a light penalty was imposed as part of the interaction.
The "nglaras memitran" session unfolded in an atmosphere of joyfulness. The session concluded without any participants receiving penalties, reflecting the spirit of getting acquainted and interacting regardless of seniority or juniority.

Next came the "kado silang" session, in which students from the 2023 cohort brought wrapped food items as gifts and then distributed them randomly. Afterward, the students were given the chance to enjoy the food they had received.
Following that was the "ke-HMJ-an" segment presented by Adjit Royan Mustafa Ganda Sukma, Chairman of HMJ KAMASTAWA, part of the Candrabirawa cabinet. In this session, students from the 2023 cohort were introduced to and provided with an explanation of HMJ KAMASTAWA.

Equally important was the "tataning bebuden" session presented by R. Putra Sukaca, Taruna Dharma Jati, and Sindi Virnanda. They elaborated on etiquette in the context of academics, including communication with lecturers, speaking, dressing, and other aspects. Despite addressing serious issues, their delivery was engaging, relaxed, and easily comprehensible to students from the 2023 cohort. This session also included humor, making it warmer and eliciting laughter.

Upon completing the "tataning bebuden" session, the "First Gathering" event for Javanese Language, Literature, and Culture students of the academic year 2022-2023 was concluded by the hosts. Subsequently, a documentation session was held to capture the moments of togetherness.
This "First Gathering" served as a platform for students of the 2022-2023 cohort to get to know each other and strengthen their relationships. Through the "ke-HMJ-an" and "tataning bebuden" sessions, it is hoped that students of the 2023 cohort will gain a better understanding of the self-development platform provided by HMJ KAMASTAWA and grasp the essential ethical values for their academic journey ahead
