Haruka and Nagisa awaken to Makoto's shouts and follow him into the rough waters. Makoto's phobia sets in and he freezes, but is rescued by Haruka and dragged to nearby Sukishima island. Nagisa and Rei also make it there with Rei blaming himself for putting the group in danger. When the team reunites, they take shelter at the abandoned Sukishima Rest House. Rei asks Makoto about his hesitation in the water and, despite Haruka's objection, Makoto explains the origins of his thalassophobia encouraging the others to also share personal stories. The next day, they swim to the mainland and collapse on the shore, much to Gou and Ms. Amakata's confusion.
