Sensei checks on Rin again — she isn't back to normal, but she says that she is slowly improving. Chika has been texting her again, but she hasn't responded. She plans to go out exploring the city sometime, and if Sensei didn't hurt her by doing things with Chika, she invites him to join her and Futaba. She talks about "damage control" strategies, and thanks Sensei and Futaba for leaving her with barely any time to feel sad. Chika then knocks on the door, and despite Rin's panic, Sensei leaves them alone to talk. Chika tells Rin that she has been worried, and that she regrets not giving a proper reply when Rin confessed. She says that although she can't be in a relationship with Rin, she will not accept the end of their friendship.
