While Hirokazu is gone, saki shows up at his house and tells him to meet Waka sugi, who has been talking to Nogiku. Hiroko says he's not sure where saki is, but he does know that she's going to come back. He says that he first met her on the beach, and that she means to be the sea, waiting for him at night. He tells her that he rented a place for her to wait at night, so that he can go check on her. He's got to find out who he is, he says. He doesn't know why she'd come to the gym alone, and he says that it's strange that she would come alone like that. He adds that he never thought he'd be alone like this, but that he felt like something was different. He asks if she can believe him, but she can't. She says that she can continue with her high school and her sempai half-sister. He also says that when he realized that saki was trying to trick him, he pretended to go to the ocean, and she pretended to head back to her school. He wants to know how he can stand on stage as saki one last time. He promises to give him control over the chapter one hundred and one .
