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...
but if you think you alone will
manage somehow, you're wrong!
لكن إن ظننت أنّك ستتدبر الأمر بمفردك
!فأنت مُخطئ
Wenn du denkst, du kannst alles
allein schaffen, irrst du dich gewaltig!
pero si crees que podrás con todo
tú solo, ¡estás muy equivocado!
pero si crees que podrás con todo
tú solo, ¡estás muy equivocado!
si tu crois être le seul
qui réussira,
ma se pensi di poter risolvere tutto da solo,
ti sbagli di grosso!
mas se acha que vai conseguir dar um
jeito sempre sozinho, está bem errado!
Потому что вывезти всё
в одного нереально!
