Sensei turns around, finding the person tugging his sleeve to be Sana who's ready to begin her part of the confession contest. While he slips into his usual style of banter with her, when she begins to toss some of her own back at him, he feels uncomfortable and decides to guide her away before something bad happens. As he guides Sana along the beach, he thinks to himself how he's losing control and how he desperately needs to get better at not hurting his students. He contemplates calling Nikiagain, but he's soon overcome with the desire to see Nodoka.
By the time he's snapped back to reality, he's been guiding Sana along the beach for half an hour. He apologizes and tells her to get her confession over with, his blunt words making Sana feel hesitant to continue, especially when he emphasizes the inauthenticity. He's blindsided by the content of her confession and the subtext underneath, leading to him realizing just how much more outgoing she's become since they met. Sana points out how much he's changed as well, and expresses how much she appreciates him being able to more accurately understand her. She wraps up her confession with another awkward admission before taking a stand atop a rock hinting that, on top of becoming more outgoing, her perception of him has changed before sprinting away.
He barely has the time to react before receiving a phone call from Otoha, who gives him a location to meet so she can deliver her confession. Before he knows it, he's arrived at the confession spot, with Otoha bluntly stating she doesn't want to do this. The two begin to talk, but Otoha's prying into his relationships leads him to mistake this confession as an attempt at blackmail. She denies this and, when her prepared confession fails, decides to recite another one, which Sensei easily deduces was written for someone else. In the end, Otoha admits it was an elaborate lead-in for her to vent about her problems, such as the guilt building up from her cheating on Rin. Sensei's shocked into silence upon hearing this, and she asks him what she should do from here, both in regards to Rin and the person she cheated with. Sensei slowly begins to speak again and questions why he's trusting him with such sensitive information.
Otoha tells him she has no one else she can vent to, likening him to a little brother. Sensei blacks out and chooses a winner.
