At the beginning of the second half of the game, Tsukushi and the rest of the team huddle together in the dressing room, waiting for the return of Mishima. Mishima, however, is not feeling well. He has been feeling ill for a long time, and he does not know how to cope with his illness. He is not sure how to handle the situation. He does not want to be a part of the group that is losing. He tells Mishima that he will not let him pretend that he is friends with the other players. He reminds him that he was the one who ran away from the team that day, and Mishima is determined not to let that happen again.
