The next morning, the students discuss the results of the snowball fight, which they won yesterday. They're excited about the upcoming cross-country trip, but they're also worried about their teacher, who got injured in the fight. The students wonder if they'll see their older brother, Chiaki, on the trip, and they wonder if he'll be able to join them. They also wonder if the food in the hotel might be affecting Chiaki. They don't know what's going on, and the only thing they know is that their school has just booked a hotel for the trip.
