When the teacher tells the class that he has sprained his knee, the students are shocked. The teacher asks the class monitor if he remembers anything. The class monitor says that he does not remember anything. He says that his first thought was to choose the flag bearer, but that the person who helped him the most was the one who did not want to draw his attention. He asks the teacher to choose a flag bearer and a speech candidate for the next flag-raising ceremony. He tells the teacher that he is willing to bury his love for the teacher if it means that the teacher can choose someone with "a good memory." The teacher says that she will choose someone "with a good memory" if it is the teacher.
