The Kansei University track team runs into Tokyo Sport University at Lake Shirakaba, where they're holding their training camp.
Sakaki insistently provokes Kakeru over his past actions.
Pushes to his limit, Kakeru grabs ahold of him, but his friends come between them before anything can happen.
Later they begin their grueling practice, but Kakeru can't stop recalling heavy memories from his high school days: 
a cruel past that pushed a group of elite runners to their breaking point.
Recalling how he chose his own destruction, Kakeru agonizes over his past.
That night, the sky is full of stars. Haiji appears next to Kakeru as he's hanging around by himself...
Are you satisfied running 
with the friends you finally made?
هل تشعر برضى بالركض مع الأصدقاء
الذين كسبهم عليهم أخيراً؟
Bist du nun zufrieden, endlich Kameraden
zu haben, mit denen du laufen kannst?
¿Te satisface correr
con los amigos que por fin hiciste?
¿Te satisface correr
con los amigos que por fin hiciste?
T’es content…
Sei soddisfatto?
Está satisfeito por finalmente
correr junto de companheiros?
Рад, что у тебя наконец-то
появились друзья?!
