When she passes away on the first day of school after Kakeru transfers, Kakeru blames himself and thus refuses Suwa's invitation to join the Soccer club. Kakeru sees some old classmates from Tokyo, but none of them understand what Kakeru is going through. In the end, Kakeru becomes so distressed that he feels that he has no way out.
Just living is the most painful thing.
.التماسك والعيش فحسب هو أكثر شيءٍ مؤلم
Alors que c’est vivre 
qui est le plus pénible.
Continuare a vivere è la cosa più dura.
Quando se está aguentando
 firme, só viver já é difícil.
Жить дальше сложнее всего.
