With the sports festival now in full swing, the performance of the cheerleading squad is a great success, and Ishigami is overcome with a sense of fulfillment that he has never experienced before. However, when a classmate from middle school, Kyoko Otomo, approaches Ishigami, his facial expression completely changes. While still being visibly rattled, he is chosen to replace the injured leader of the cheerleading squad as the anchor for the relay race. As a pale faced Ishigami steps up to the track, he begins to reflect on an incident he once caused in the past at school...
I'm supposed to run the anchor leg
in the relay, but I can barely hobble.
من المفترض أنّني العداء الأخير في سباق التتابع
.لكنّني لا أستطيع الجري بهذه الإصابة
Ich sollte doch der Schlussläufer
beim Staffellauf sein,
Se supone que corra el último tramo
de los relevos,
El caso es que ya no voy a poder correr 
el último en la carrera de relevos.
Et donc, je devais participer au relais,
मुझे रिले में एंकर लेग में दौड़ना था,
पर अब मैं लंगड़ाकर चल रहा हूँ।
Eu era o último corredor na corrida de
revezamento, mas mal consigo mancar.
Так вот, я должен был бежать
 замыкающим в эстафете.
