It's the second stage of the exam for Todai, and he's nervous. He doesn't know what's wrong with his friend, but he can't figure out how to ask Narusegawa about the diary entry. He's worried that she'll beat him up if he fails, but she stayed by his side during his studying. He hopes that tomorrow, he'll be able to take the exam and pass. He drops his exam admission ticket, and the other students in the room think that he has a slim chance of passing. He says that he worked hard for three years to pass the exam, and that even though he is bad at studying, he has worked hard enough to pass in the past. He asks if he can leave after 30 minutes, and she says he can, but that he can only do so after that. He wonders if he made a promise to her, and wonders how he managed to get through the hard ship without her. He also wonders if she was there to help him pass the test, because he always thought that she was.
