With summer vacation over, Umika must put on a brave face in front of the others after their loss. She soon learns that Matataki refuses to talk to anyone or come to school.
I was running away from treating anything 
as dear to me this whole time.
كنت أهرب من اعتبارِ أيّ شيءٍ على
.أنهّ عزيزٌ عليّ طوال هذا الوقت
Ich habe immer vermieden,
etwas zu sehr liebzugewinnen.
Je fuyais le fait
d’avoir ce genre d’attachement.
Ho sempre evitato in tutti i modi
 di tenere a qualcosa.
Até agora, eu evitei dar valor a
qualquer coisa de que eu gostasse.
Я всё это время боялась
относиться к чему-то бережно.
