Synopsis
After texting, Legoshi and Haru gather on one of the least traveled stairs in the school to talk about trivial things (which they have been for a while). Haru tells Legoshi that everyone at school already knows that they slept together, because the rumor spread. Legoshi asks Haru if she is being bullied because of this and offers her help. Haru rejects him saying that she has always been bullied and can handle himself. Legoshi proposes to clear things up, but Haru tells him that it would be weird because of their relationship, stating that she enjoys the relationship they currently have and does not want it to change, which leaves Legoshi confused.

Walking, Legoshi is thoughtful because he has noticed that Haru is in a bad mood, possibly because he is worried about Louis, a feeling that Legoshi shares. Legoshi is frustrated due to not progressing in the promise he made to Haru and not having clues of Louis's whereabouts. He runs into Louis moments later, and while Louis remains casual, Legoshi is surprised and tries to ask him questions, but does not dare to approach. At the drama club practice room, the whole club is surprised by Louis's return and express their joy. However, Louis delivers a letter of resignation, revealing that he only returned to deliver said letter and thanks them for the time he spent in the club. Louis exclaiming that while he was on stage he loved the audience that was waiting for his fall, and declares that things have changed, wishing Legoshi luck as he fights in the shallow light. He leaves saying that he would face his battles differently. Louis is picked up by the lions of the Shishigumi, who address him as their boss.
