This scene opens with a nurse's sign at the private school where Ani is staying. The nurse tells Ani that the doctors have said that she is anemic and that she should not have to apologize. Ani tells the nurse that she doesn't know what she's doing playing volleyball anymore and that things must be tough for her friend, Hasegawa, right now. Ani asks the nurse if she can talk to her friend about how much she likes him, and the nurse tells her that it's too late for her to tell him. Ani thanks the nurse for her kindness, and says that she'd never thought she would see her trying to comfort anyone. Ani says that her mom is happy that she has a friend over, and she can take her time to think things over before she goes to see them. She tells Ani about her dad, who was an alcoholic before he was born, and how he never drank again after that. Ani thinks that her mother is perfect, but she is jealous of her, because she is the only one who fixes her clothes when they are torn. Ani is happy to be needed, and that's what makes her happy.
