If Hisao chooses to ignore Lilly's advice, or if he chose to not take Hanako into the city after Lilly left (regardless as to the decision he makes here), the result is the same: Hanako lashes out at him for treating her like she's helpless, and their relationship ends. She tells him, to Hisao's consternation, that she's been concerned his actions have been feeding into Hanako's bad habits, that he's been too focused on protecting Hanako as if she needed special care. In either case, Hisao goes to sleep after a tiring day.Īfter Hanako fails to show up to class again, Hisao calls Lilly for advice. After Lilly leaves on a bus, Hisao and Hanako either split up the rest of the day or go into town to visit the antique store where they bought her birthday presents. And Hanako admits that she is there for him as well. Before they return to their dorms, Hisao promises Lilly that he'll be there to protect Hanako. He and Hanako spend all night playing billiards while Akira and Lilly stay at the bar. Hisao receives a letter from Iwanako shortly before he, Lilly, Akira, and Hanako spend one last night on the town.
Hisao ends up carrying her to her room and putting her to bed. Hanako is delighted with her birthday presents and, as the night goes on, the wine has a noticeable effect on her, slurring and stumbling. They decided to combine Hanako's birthday with a small "going away" party.Īt the party, Lilly's sister has brought two bottles of wine. Her aunt has become sick, and she and her sister will have to leave school for a week to visit her in Scotland. That night, when Hisao visits Hanako to check up on her, he crosses paths with Lilly who has bad news. After returning, Mutou explains why Hanako is allowed to be absent and truant so often - that this school is meant to give opportunities these students wouldn't have in normal education - and students who have special needs need to attend to them. Mutou asks him and Shizune to take her to the nurse's office. With her completely catatonic, no one is sure what to do. For some reason, this causes Hanako to freeze up. But the final straw occurs when Misha forces Hisao why he and Lilly were gone yesterday - birthday shopping. Misha and Shizune's gossipy nature makes both Hanako and Hisao uncomfortable. Lilly buys a doll to complement the one she gave Hanako last year, and Hisao finds a reproduction of an antique chess set.ĭuring science class, Hisao, Shizune, Misha, and Hanako are paired together for group work. They find what they're looking for in an antique store. The two of them go into town and spend an exhausting day looking for a suitable present. Lilly realizes that Hanako's birthday is coming up. With both having given up a little of their secrets, they go back to class.
Hisao adds that it was because a girl confessed her love to him. Hanako blurts out that when she was young, she was in a house fire, and then "she was alone." This confession is because Lilly told her about Hisao's heart condition.
Hisao finds Hanako in the library and they spend time reading. Lilly says it's not her place to say, but she leaves as a "preemptive strike" before she has to answer anyone about her scars. Hanako spontaneously leaves class one day and Hisao finally asks Lilly why. It's clear Lilly is encouraging time together with Hisao and Hanako, and that Hanako is becoming more open to Hisao, little by little. Although few words are exchanged, Hisao treats Hanako as if he didn't notice her disfigurement, because it's how he thinks the people at this school would want to be treated. She invites him to a night tea party with herself and Hanako. After Hisao accompanies Hanako into town to pick up some food, certain students notice Hisao spending more time with the usually alone Hanako, including Lilly.
