On the way back, Honoka spots Yamato with Suzuka. When Yamato presents the gift to Honoka later on, Yamato tells her that he actually went with Suzuka, and not Yasunobu, only to find that Honoka already knew.

In the end, Honoka asks if she can still have the present, and gives him a goodbye kiss. Later on, his grieving-silently-in-own-room is interrupted in the forms of Yuuka and a drunk Megumi, who attempt to council him.
