He explains that villagers cannot marry outsiders because their offspring lack ena, making underwater survival impossible and forcing families to leave Shioshishio. Hikari realizes Tsumugu's grandfather also originates from the village. Consequently, Hikari drops her hostility toward Tsumugu, and the group bonds after completing their offering.

Sayu asks if Miuna is unhappy about Manaka waking up. Miuna states she is happy but feels somewhat different than imagined. While Manaka plays with salt flake snow with Chisaki, Hikari and Kaname discuss how Manaka stays the same. Kaname suggests it is because her friends are there for her, and because of Hikari himself. Hikari notes that Manaka does not remember events before hibernating but recalls a voice, unsure if it told her to give something or that she will be given something. They later go to the school rooftop and meet Miuna and Sayu, discussing study. Chisaki feels left out since she is the only one who already went through it, goes to the hospital, and meets Tsumugu and his grandfather.
