Summary
Kiyori greets Ushio back to class. Ushio laughs off a question on whether she kissed Sumika, cheerfully stating how could they be together, they are just friends.

Whilst Sumika is still off ill, Ushio thinks it could not possibly be love, because love is a dream that must one day shatter.

At the time she leaned towards Sumika who pushed her, stating she was just her friend, though Ushio remembers her at odds facial expression. In response Ushio stated she just got dizzy and tripped, besides the type of girl Ushio likes is Sumika's total opposite. Ushio finishes that she and Sumika will always be friends, because Sumika is more important to her than anyone.

Alone, Ushio finds her heart beating and she blushes, but intermittent flashes of Sumika's shocked face mixes disgust into the feeling.

Her brother finds her and seeing she looks upset, he simply asks if she would like to transfer schools again. Ushio thinks of Sumika, and she does not want to leave.

Finding her at school, Sumika needs answers. Ushio remembering Sumika's reaction gives her planned reason that she was dizzy from fever and just kind of stumbled.
