The girls talk about the upcoming match. They're all excited about it, but one of them is worried that it's going to be about Kyoko's revenge against Tsuchiya. The other girls are worried that they're going to get caught up in the drama of the match, and that they won't be able to focus on the real game. The girls are all worried that the girls are going to hit the ball too hard, which is a bad idea, because that's the only way to break a match. Sara is worried about that, too, because she's worried that she'll get caught in the same drama as the other girls. She tells the girls to keep an eye out for the girls talking smack, and to keep their mouths shut when they say things like "everyone" or "who do you mean" . Sara says she doesn't want to hurt her feelings, but she can't stand to be lectured on the court. She says that she used to be an alcoholic, and now she helps run the girls' team, which means that she has to deal with all the "destructive impulses" and "aggressive aggression" that come with running a team. She's not saying that this is evil, she just says that it makes you more suited to hitting a ball than to hitting people, and she knows how to do that. Sara asks the girls if they want to make their muscles ache, but the girls say they don't care, because they know that if they keep losing, they'll pull out again.
