The bullying continues: Nanako's gym uniform is stolen and cut to shreds, and Tomoko won't lend Nanako hers. Kaoru lends Nanako her uniform instead. Nanako is attacked by sophomores who did not make it into the sorority last year. Devastated, she attempts to resign from the Sorority, but Fukiko discourages her from listening to her tormenters and promises that Nanako that she will protect her—but this causes Nanako to remember how Fukiko injured Rei. Afterwards, Nanako goes out to think and bumps into Takehiko. He comforts her and somewhat lifts her spirits.
