Yamada visits Hagu again, but Professor Hanamoto took Hagu to do a contrast bath therapy session after her physical therapy session. The physical therapist tells Yamada that Hagu is a strong person, never giving up because of feeling pain. However, it is possible that Hagu may never be able to paint again, due to her condition.

Yamada questions Professor Hanamoto's love for Hagu. Mayama is happy for Professor Hanamoto for admitting his love for Hagu. Yamada regrets telling Morita about Hagu's accident.
