In this chapter, we learn that the girls' coach, Nerissa, has shaken both of them, and that they are both acting weird in front of her. Ari and yoshie ask why they are acting this way, and the girls tell each other that it's because they're afraid of what Nerissa will do to them if they don't stop acting weird. They're also afraid that Nerissa is trying to get them to stop playing this game, because she's worried about what's going to happen to her sister if she dies. The girls agree that it would be best if they all stopped acting weird and started acting like normal people again, so that they wouldn't be tempted by Nerissa's attentions. They also agree that the coach is watching them and that she wants to extend the game to five sets, which means that she'll be using them more and more. They agree that they should stop acting like crazy people and just play the game the way it is.
