We get a lot of loose, seemingly disconnected scenes at the start of the episode. A guy checks in on Chiyo, the girl who was apoplectic about the medical school scandal. Apparently, she’s given up on school ever since she found out about it. Can’t blame her. It must be disheartening to know that you can’t succeed just because you don’t have the right parts between your legs. But sometimes, you just gotta fight through it. Do what you want to do. You might not have those opportunities here and now, but you can always find them elsewhere. Emiri continues to not care about the popular guy and his love life, but her friend — not Asa this time — expects her to. Why? Should all girls be into hetero romances? A bunch of reckless boys run through the hallways and nearly knock Asa over. Unfortunately, they refuse to even apologize. A microcosm of the times? After all, a lot of people will write this behavior off as “boys will be boys.” We then see another kid quit the baseball team due to toxic, bullying behavior. His coach, however, thinks he should just tough it out. If you want to be a part of the team, you gotta take it. Again, “boys will be boys.” In the background, a baseball player gets kicked by a man who appears to be one of the coaches. As a result, the victim has to bow to his aggressor, because he’s expected to.
