Report 138

Plot
As the students start asking about the money, Chizuru tries to respond, unaware of Arata's cover-up when they found out it was missing. However, Arata interrupts her and says he misplaced the money just like he told the class earlier.

While the students are making fun of Arata for the mistake, Chizuru hears from Kazuomi about what happened. As she watches Arata and Hana laughing about the whole incident, Chizuru understands that her way of doing things would not have resolved the situation peacefully. She realizes that if she lets Arata cover for her acting on her own once again the issue will be resolved, but it will also maintain her separation from others and keep all of them from experiencing a shared achievement with the project.

Steeling herself, Chizuru tells everyone the truth. Hana is about to get aggressive, but is dumbfounded when Chizuru very humbly apologizes for all the trouble she has caused. Having finally figured out the connection between her recurring problems with her co-workers and her acting on her own without communicating with anyone, she asks the class to give her another chance.
