Plot[]
Tsukushi Makino and Tsukasa Domyoji hold each other for several minutes before pulling apart. The romance of the situation is broken by mosquitoes. They hug briefly one more time before walking ahead. Tsukushi realizes that she has learned what is "really important to [her]" through this trip. Tsukasa notices some movement and kicks someone in the head, who turns out to be Sojiro Nishikado. Next, Akira Mimasaka walks into the clearing in a cheery mood. An angry Tsukasa nearly hits Akira, but he dodges in time.
Now safely in a mansion on the island, Tsukasa confronts his friends. Shigeru Okawahara arrives and reveals that she orchestrated the entire situation. Tsukasa angrily grabs her by the shirt, yelling "This isn't a joke!" Shigeru yells right back, declaring "You love each other don't you?!" Having calmed down, Tsukasa tells her that Tsukushi nearly drowned and that he would not have forgiven Shigeru if something bad had happened. He then goes off to have a bath, which Akira suggests Tsukushi should do too.
In the bath, Tsukushi is joined by Shigeru who starts to wash her back. Shigeru apologizes to her, confessing "I just couldn't stand to watch you two." Tsukushi thanks her, realizing that she would not have had the strength to say "Don't go" to him otherwise. Shigeru adds that she invited Rui Hanazawa to come along, but he declined. After their bath, the group sits down to eat. Tsukasa suddenly declares "I've made up my mind." He shocks everyone by saying "I'm going to leave my family."
