Plot
Anxiously anticipating Chizuru and Rena's discussion behind a wall, to his surprise Arata finds out that he is sharing his hiding place with Ryō. He wonders why would Ryō be concerned with Chizuru's affairs, and Ryō explains that he is there to observe the effects of Arata's actions on the people around him.

Rena arrives, and upon seeing Chizuru she expects to be questioned about the bag. However, Chizuru asks right off the bat if Rena wants the silver pin so much that she wants to cause her trouble because of it. Chizuru explains what Arata told her, and asks Rena if she was going to hide her bag because she hates her.

Rena, as well as Arata and Ryō in their hiding place, are all quite shocked by Chizuru's direct approach. Rena is about to deny hating Chizuru but then remembers Arata telling her not to run away earlier in the infirmary. She tells Chizuru that she does hate her, and pours out that she can never beat her, she took the things she wanted away from her and keeps making fun of her with her smiles.

Chizuru is flustered at first but then tells Rena she has never made fun of her, and begins to ponder why she would do that. Rena thinks that Chizuru must be making fun of her again, but then she remembers Arata suggesting that she ask Chizuru to show her smiling face to her and that there has likely been a misunderstanding between the girls.
