The next day, at school, Kou surprised his friends by suggesting to do a study group, ultimately scoring higher than all of them on the finals. In the final scene, when they are deciding where to go for the summer vacation, Futaba reminisces about the past but also looks forward to create more memories with Kou, Yuuri, Shuuko, and Kominato.
