The group were all in the clubroom.
Daisuke: You really told her all that.
Riku: I owe Takahashi, he was the one who was helping me with this lie, I owe you.
Kenji: It's okay, and call me Kenji.
Daisuke: Where are you going?
Kenji: To practice.
Kenji walked out of the room.
Riku: I'm going to get my old looks back.
...
The group walked out of a hair salon with Riku back to his feminine look but with shorter hair.
Daisuke: So what do we do know?
Ren: We could go watch Takahashi practice.
Akemi: Hey Riku.
They all stopped in their tracks before turning.
Akemi: Riku listen-
Riku: If you're not here to apologize then don't waste my time.
Akemi: Listen I'm sorry about everything.
Riku: I'm not the one you need to apologize to.
Akemi: Everyone I'm sorry about everything, I didn't mean-
Ren: You don't need to apologize.
Daisuke: we aren't mad.
Akemi: Riku I really I'm sorry I didn't mean for any-
Riku: it's okay, I just hope you can accept me for who I am.
Akemi: I can, as long as you can forgive me.
Riku: I have.
Akemi: One more thing.
Riku: What?
Akemi: Is Takahashi like your boyfriend or something.
Riku: What in the world gave you that idea!
Akemi: Mom said you were embarrassed when he saw you like that.
Riku: That doesn't mean anything.
...
Kenji was on his phone in the field before a smile put up on his face.
Riku: Hey Kenji.
Kenji: Oh hey.
He looked up laughing before rushing to towards them excitedly hugging Riku.
Riku: Hey!
Kenji: Sorry I can't help it, I am basically celebrating something.
Riku turned to Akemi who was smiling.
Riku: It's not like that!
