The tournament is over, and Shinya is bummed. She's bummed because she lost to a guy named Kenchitsu in the tournament's first round, but she's also bummed because it's her first time at the national tournament, and she wants to do well. She also wants to cheer up her friend Tomoyuki, who's in second place in his division. He's been practicing his kata, which is a kind of wrestling-style combat, and he came in second in the morning. Shinya's psyched to be going to the nationals for the first time, and thinks that she'll be able to do better than she did in her first year at the school. She wants to support him in the fourth round of the tournament, since he's lost in his first round. She wonders how he'll react to seeing how far he is from his goal, and how he might react if he didn't recover from his bout with stomach-churning food poisoning. She thinks that he'd be psyched to get back to the top of his division, even if he doesn't win the tournament.
