Plot
Honoka goes to see Ms. Amatsu in the staff room to ask if she knows anything about Rena's injury, as she still has not spoken to her herself. Ms. Amatsu tells Honoka that Rena should recover in two weeks, and Honoka leaves the staff room hopeful but unsure what she would do if Rena chooses not to play in the tournament.

Indeed, what Ms. Amatsu did not tell Honoka is that just a little earlier Rena came in the staff room to give notice of her retirement from the club. Rena told her that even though her leg will likely be all right by the time the tournament starts, she doubts her ability to play very well after not practising in the intervening time. Rena's announcement left Ms. Amatsu depressed, as she was aware of the effect on the rest of the team.

At the end of the school day Rena stays in the classroom, and as Kazuomi asks if she does not have her volleyball practice she tells him she is going to study instead. Upon hearing it Kazuomi also decides to stay and finish his homework and asks Arata if he is going to stay too, reminding him of his upcoming retests. However, Arata leaves with the excuse that he has some matters to take care of in order to give Kazuomi and Rena a chance to be alone. Outside the classtoom Arata also remembers the approaching volleyball tournament and wonders why Rena isn't going to practice, but he lets the thought go.
