Mr. Kitagawa and his friends have just finished their afternoon training and are about to play a game of basket ball when the wind blows them off course. They ask nishino to join them, but he refuses, saying that he is not fit to play such a game. He tells them that he heard that he had injured his shoulder in the past, but that he was fine with light activity. He asks if he can join them as well, but they do not want to drag him into the game, as they are just there to play. They talk about the other players and how they are all taking the game so seriously. They all seem to be playing the same game, and they are holding each other by the biceps. They tease him about the fact that they are getting so close to him every night, and he says that it is making him conscious of it.
