Asahina is
upset because she is struggling with her feelings toward Yamoto. She
doesn't feel like she has closure with the death of her previous
boyfriend. She tells Yamoto that she is going to visit the gravesite of
Tsuda and that she would like Yamoto to come along.
At Tsuda's
gravesite, she admits to Tsuda's headstone that she is in love with
someone else. Yamoto hears this and hopes that it is him that Asahina is
in love with. After paying her respects, Asahina finally feels like she
has closure and can move on.
The next
day, on the way to school, Yamoto and Asahina hold hands. This is noticed
by some other students and word starts to get around that these two are
dating. This news hits Honaka hard, and she wonders how she will be able
to coach these two at track practice. When Nana calls Honaka on the
phone and tells
her that some people want her to pose again because of the last photo
shoot, Honaka steps down as track coach to devote her time to being a
model . . . since having Yamoto again as a boyfriend is not longer an
option.
To help Asahina
with the upcoming Kanto District Championship, Yamoto hops on the train
to Tokyo and returns just before the track meet. He is not racing today,
so he went to Tokyo and bought Asahina a good luck charm. Unfortunately
for him, he bought the wrong good luck charm. Still, Asahina is touched
by his gesture.
Yamoto
decides, since they are dating, that he wants to call Asahina by her
first name, which is Suzuka. He tries and tries, and finally blurts it
out. Then he apologizes and says that he just cannot call Asahina by her
first name. Asahina liked it when he called her Suzuka, but Yamoto
doesn't hear her say so.
