It's raining, and the school is so quiet that it's hard to hear what's going on around the building. The narrator tells us that this is the first time he's been outside since middle school. He's glad to be outside, because it means he can talk to his friend shiba kenmu, who's doing sando with the other girls in the school's kendo club. He tells her that he wishes he had a girlfriend, because keigo kun is like a "basket ball wizard" . He also tells her about the weird relationship between him and the sempai , who benched him one of the three years he was supposed to be a starter. He says that he can't believe how different hananoi is from the person he used to be when he first met him. He asks if he could ask him to close his eyes and make him like a statue, but the narrator says he'd rather not. He thanks the narrator for giving him the time he needs to catch up with his friend.
