Aired on August 18, 2005
Depressed following rejection, Yamato finds healing through Yuuka, who shares her past and former normal self. This experience solidifies his feelings for Suzuka, prompting him to join the track team despite the setback. He seeks guidance from Yasunobu, but Suzuka overhears their discussion and assumes he will lack effort and hinder the team. Yasunobu advises an apology, noting Yamato’s history as a slacker makes track participation unlikely. However, when Yamato visits the track office to apologize, he inadvertently signs up for the team instead.
