Summary
After being pushed into the pool by Ayanokouji, Karuizawa Kei sat near a window with drenched hair watching the students who were returning to the changing rooms with contempt. Seeing the weird look on her face, Ayanokouji said that she had no right to look at those students with contempt as she was also a part of the group of students with a lot of friends and added that, only someone like him who has stayed out of limelight should look down on those groups of people.

Karuizawa even though understanding his point, retorted that it was natural to have a negative outlook for something one wasn't able to comprehend as it was their inner perception and doesn't necessarily have to be true. Hearing her, Ayanokouji admiring her thought that she didn't seem like a person who would give such a speech. He felt that he held the same thoughts and believed her inner self to be more reliable and different than her outer self.

Without looking at her, Ayanokouji brought the topic of her scar and asked if she would like to go swimming in the pool. She said that she dislikes swimming in a public place as her body would be exposed even if she wore a swimsuit. After having a little talk about the swimsuits, She teased him asking if he wanted to see her swimsuit and added that she was happy to talk with him, in her real self, without being concerned. She then whispered that until then she had kept hiding her real self and always felt uneasy. She then wondered if swimming a bit would be a good thing but still didn't go swimming as it wasn't something she could do.

Seeing her shoulder a psychological as well as a physical scar, Ayanokouji wondered if he could ever heal her. He thought that if he was ever able to do that, he would have done something worth being happy.
