Makoto thinks that from what he said, it seems like that thing isn’t only about her. Watase is startled and Makoto is shock when Iriya bluntly tells Watase that he cannot return to the past. “I’m also saying people would obviously always go forward that they cannot just conveniently go back to the past.” Watase asks what he knows. “I didn’t do any bad thing- I shouldn’t be punished.” Iriya answers, “You’re really quite relaxed, making yourself into ‘pitiful me’. ..let me say sorry first but until when do you plan to keep on continuing this kind of situation.” Watase is surprised by that. Then, a soccer ball flies up high and hits Makoto’s head. Ouch. The guys are surprised to see that. Returning the ball, Watase angrily scolds the players as to where they are kicking the ball. The player apologizes. Bewildered Iriya asks Makoto if she is alright. Makoto apologizes to Watase for eavesdropping. “I’m sorry. *Watase is asking what she is apologizing for* I always wanted to apologize to you.. During junior high, I really don’t have a bit of self-confidence. I always got compared to my sister. I really hate myself and because of this, I have hurt you.. (until now, I’ve realized that at that time, if I had a bit of courage, would she still do such a mean thing) *crying* I’m sorry, Watase-kun.” As Iriya helps Makoto stand up, Watase says, “..in the end, you’ve changed. Is the change because that guy is beside you? *Makoto tries to say something* It’s alright. It started when we’ve met the past few days. ..it’s really good. I can also change, right..” Teary-eyed Makoto says he can change. “Watase-kun, you also has one at your side, a person who’ll say strive hard together. Of course, if there is anything I can do, I’ll also help!!” After a pause, Watase says then, he has something that he wants a favor of. Makoto says okay, what it is. Watase tells her to let him finish what he was saying before. “I want to properly end this thing. *closes eyes and opens them again* ..‘I like you, please go steady with me’.” Makoto looks at him and it is like they went back to that time. Teary-eyed Makoto smiles and bows. She says, “I’m really sorry.” Watase smiles and answers, “..ya, thank you.” Breathing hard from running, Toyoda arrives and starts hitting Watase for being stupid and making her really worried. Watase smiles and hugs her to comfort her. As Makoto slightly smiles at the couple, Iriya says, “..let’s go.” And, Makoto walks forward with Iriya.
