Fuutarou's Flashback Arc
In the hospital, Itsuki persistently questions Fuutarou on why he studies. Fuutarou well recalls the encounter he had with a young girl that changed his life. Five years ago, Fuutarou along with his four classmates were on a school field trip to Kyoto. Because of a certain incidence, Fuutarou felt excluded from his group of friends, and left alone. Some time later, a woman accused Fuutarou of sneaking photos of her, and two policemen near the scene came and began inquiring him. A girl voice emerged from behind and claimed that Fuutarou is innocent. Fuutarou looked back and saw a young girl smiling at him. At present, Fuutarou then ends his story with jokes, much to Itsuki's disappointment.
