Shizuku begins to show an interest in learning more about Haru's past and when Yuzan shows up after school to meet with her she takes the opportunity. Yuzan explains that their father had kicked Haru out of their home around the time he started middle school but had a change of heart and wants Haru to come home. Haru intervenes and Yuzan tells him that he wants Haru to stay in school even if its only because of Shizuku. Afterwards Haru and Shizuku walk home together and he opens up to her about his past. Shizuku stops and tells Haru that if he wants to be somewhere else he should go, but she would be sad if he left. Haru tells her that he chooses to be with her. Back at school Shizuku reflects on how much her life has changed since she met Haru. The class representative from Class A, Oshima (who Haru had beat up the upperclassman for) timidly approaches Haru at the lockers and thanks him for standing up for her. Shizuku notices the way Oshima blushs when speaking to Haru.
