Hirokazu asks Suzuki if he's feeling well, and Suzuki says that his knee is feeling better. He's still not sure if he can be the starting pitcher for the team the next day, but he thinks he'll be able to pitch well. Suzuki asks if anyone has been bullying him, and he says that everyone does. He tells her that he knows he needs to get over the crush, but that he doesn't have the energy to do so right now. She tells him to use his energy on something that will clear his mind, like telling him how she feels about the crush. She says that she's spent all her time worrying about it, and she can't think of anything else to do. She wants to tell him how badly she feels, so she can get over her crush. He says that the team is practicing, and that they'll have to practice again tomorrow. He asks her not to tell anyone, but she says she'll do it anyway.
