Ep. 6: Rei visits the Kawamoto home while Hinata discusses school rules and atmosphere with him.
Aired on November 18, 2017
During a visit to the Kawamoto residence, Rei engages in conversation with Hinata regarding her school life. She gradually reveals the strict, unwritten rules governing classroom behavior, such as volume limits for laughter and expectations for student demeanor. Later, Takahashi, the popular ace of the baseball team, enters Hinata's class during lunch to invite her to play catch. Having previously discussed Hinata's difficult situation with Rei, Takahashi encourages her to step outside the classroom environment. This interaction marks a shift in the social dynamics, as the popular student actively invites Hinata to participate in activities outside the restrictive atmosphere she described to Rei.
