With the sports festival now in full swing, the performance of the cheerleading squad is a great success, and Ishigami is overcome with a sense of fulfillment that he has never experienced before. However, when a classmate from middle school, Kyoko Otomo, approaches Ishigami, his facial expression completely changes. While still being visibly rattled, he is chosen to replace the injured leader of the cheerleading squad as the anchor for the relay race. As a pale faced Ishigami steps up to the track, he begins to reflect on an incident he once caused in the past at school...
I don't know how, but even though
they didn't let me come back to junior high,
أجهل السبب، لكن رغم أنَّهم لم يسمحوا لي
،بالعودة إلى الإعدادية
Ich durfte weiterhin nicht zur Schule,
aber aus irgendeinem Grund
No sé cómo, pero aunque no me
dejaron volver a la secundaria,
A pesar de que no me dejaron volver 
a secundaria,
J’ignore pourquoi, malgré mon exclusion,
पता नहीं कैसे, पर भले ही उन्होंने मुझे
जूनियर हाई में वापस जाने नहीं दिया,
Não sei como, mas mesmo sem
poder voltar para o fundamental,
Ходить на уроки в девятом классе
 мне так и не позволили,
