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...
Everyone has an injury or two
they're working through.
يعاني الجميع من إصابة أو اثنتين يتحملونها
Jeder hat ein paar Verletzungen,
durch die er durch muss.
Todos tienen un par de lesiones
y se esfuerzan al máximo.
Todos tienen un par de lesiones
y se esfuerzan al máximo.
Tout le monde se donne à fond
malgré ses petits bobos.
Tutti hanno avuto uno o due infortuni, 
ma continuano a impegnarsi.
Todos têm uma ou duas
lesões e estão se esforçando.
Покажи мне хоть одного бегуна без травм.
