With Kou too afraid to call his father, Maria comes up with the idea of kicking both him and Hoshi off the bridge so that Nino can make a wish to some shooting stars. At the same time, Seki gets word that the project has been stopped and decides to head for the bridge himself. Upon arriving, he finds himself in a similar situation to Kou's, with his pants stolen and placed at the top of the bridge. He runs into Nino, who tells him all about how Kou has changed for the better. Kou eventually calls Seki's phone, which is in his trousers that he refuses to take back from Nino. As Seki leaves and Nino answers the phone, she hears Kou's words of staying with her forever.
