It's been a while since we've seen Tomohashi, and now he's back on the court. He's feeling a little better, though, because he thinks that he and the rest of the team are doing a pretty good job of getting the job done. He says that he used to think that the other team was going to win the match, but now he thinks it's cool to let them shoot the ball and let them pass it around. He also says that Oishi has been acting a lot lately, and that she's getting better all the time. He doesn't want to feel bad about it, though. He just wants to know what's going on with the national team, and he wonders if sumibino is one of the players on the team. The captain says that they're taking a breather from the game, so they put Hachimiya in, which is a good thing, because it makes the other players more honest with themselves. He thinks that they all need to get closer together, because they all feel the same way.
