Tsubaki tells KÅsei that Kaori was sent to the hospital after collapsing in her home. This is the second time that KÅsei, Tsubaki and RyÅta visit Kaori in the hospital, in which Kaori tries to act cheerful even though she is obviously not well. Nao notes that Tsubaki may have romantic feelings for KÅsei instead of SaitÅ, but Tsubaki only sees KÅsei as a brother. KÅsei visits Kaori again, explaining that he decided to play the set piece by himself instead of just going home, and he realizes that she chose the set piece because of him. Nao continues to worry about Tsubaki being with SaitÅ, while KÅsei ponders which high school to attend next year. Later on, KÅsei and Tsubaki walk barefoot on the beach, reliving past moments. However, Tsubaki runs away in tears when KÅsei reveals that he will be moving away to attend an early college high school of music.
