Sensei finds Karin sitting on a bench, waiting to hand out fliers for the soccer team. Kirin was supposed to be there too, but Karin thinks she is still mad over their argument. Although she is pleased to hear that Sensei liked the cookies, Karin still finds it awkward to talk to him, and wishes she could be more like her sister in that regard. With some difficulty, she asks Sensei whether there is anything going on between him and Kirin — she is sad if he admits that something already happened, and glad if he pretends otherwise.
