The next day, the sports festival is in full swing, and Mariana asks if she can compete in a relay race. She fainted the day before, and she's not feeling well. She wants to run in the relay race, so she asks Mariana's friends to sit back and cheer her on. Mariana tells her friends that she'll fight for them, and they all agree to do so. Mariana is horrified by what she sees as her friend's irresponsible behavior. She tells him that if he'd just taken her home, she wouldn't be in this situation. She says that if she'd been home that day, things would have been different. Mariana says that it's her fault, not hers, because she didn't take her back to school. She blames herself for making him feel bad, and apologizes for making her feel bad.
