Plot
Found eavesdropping on Honoka, Chizuru and Arata's conversation, Rena immediately tries to make a run for it but stops as Honoka calls after her. Rena listens as she tells her she is the reason she is enjoying the volleyball club and asks her to play in the last tournament with her, but avoids looking directly at Honoka. Rena responds that she already quit the club, and starting to lose her temper, tells her to stop bothering her and starts running away again. Chizuru likewise tries to stop her by telling she is also coming to watch the tournament as they seem to be having so much fun playing. While Rena leaves without giving a response, she is beset by dark feelings once she gets outside.

Kazuomi notes that he did not know Rena's ankle had healed, and despite doubting if he should share it he tells Honoka about the day after her injury when he was in the classroom alone with her. Having seen Rena cry then he believes that she still cares about Honoka and the club, and what she said a moment earlier was just her being stubborn and not her true feelings. Honoka agrees and thanks everyone for making it possible for her to say what she wanted to say to Rena.

Looking at the others talking, Arata happily notes that they have become a big group of friends. He thinks that it is the kind of moment everyone will look back on as adults, and a normal part of what youth is all about.
