Summary

Komi leaves the medical bay with a band aid on her knee, to everyone's dejection. Najimi suggests going home, which Yamai agrees to, as Komi can't go into the water, but Komi insists that everyone keeps having fun without her. Najimi leads the group to an attraction, explaining that Komi will feel that she ruined everyone's fun if they go home, as Yamai uses a file to wear away the part of the pavement that Komi tripped on.

Komi, alone, watches other people forlornly, as Tadano silently sits next to her. When he asks if her knee still hurts, she asks (via notepad) why he isn't swimming, to which he replies that he's taking a break. He assures Komi that everyone else is playing happily (or filing the pavement) so they won't dislike her. Komi explains that she feels that she ruined everyone's fun, and that she doesn't like herself because of it. In response, Tadano throws water at her face, and invites her into the shallows of the pool. As Komi tries to stand up, Tadano reaches out, taking her hand and pulling her up. Realising that he's holding her hand, he quickly withdraws and stammers, as Komi curiously stares at him.

Najimi, with a water gun, shoots Tadano and Komi, inviting them to play together, which they do with the whole group. On the way home on the train, Komi sleeps, as Yamai lustfully rests on her shoulder.
