It's morning, and Hiroshi asks Hiroshi to borrow his bike so he can go see Nishimiya. Hiroshi refuses, saying that he's too fat to ride a bike, and that he doesn't deserve to see his friend again. He also says that he can't go see her because she's teaching a sign language class on Tuesday, and even if he did, he wouldn't be able to go because he'd have to apologize for being rude to her. As Hiroshi tries to talk to his friend, he realizes that his friend is Hiroshi's mother, not his friend . He asks if she is really her friend, and she says that she isn't, but that she'll talk to her when she gets home. He's glad to have her back, and he thanks her for being kind to him.
