Misha sees that she's pushing her friend away. He takes Misha to the Shanghai for a parfait, then takes her on a tour of the school grounds - much like Shizune and Misha did on his first day - while confronting her about her feelings. Hisao realizes Shizune's actions haven't indicated anything that she's concerned with how Misha feels. Shizune declines, given that she hasn't finished Student Council elections, nor has she cheered Misha up. Her younger brother, Hideaki, and father, Jigoro, visit Shizune at school to tell her they are going on a trip, which is certainly unusual given their confrontational relationship. Shizune takes Hisao on a picnic, but can't stop thinking about Misha. Shizune, oblivious, interrupts and asks them down for Student Council.ДЄfter confessing her feelings towards Shizune to Hisao, Misha makes a point to keep distant from the couple. She admits some jealousy of Hisao, because he has what she can't. Nevertheless, Shizune still sought out Misha because they were friends. Once, she confessed her love, but was rejected. She confesses that she's been in love with Shizune since she arrived at Yamaku. The next day, Hisao finds Misha on top of the roof, looking depressed.

She feels depressed because she thinks she's been a bad friend and asks Hisao to 'comfort her.' This all culminates when Misha follows Hisao back to his dorm one night. Then Shizune worries that Misha is mad at her because she hasn't been working on Student Council stuff much lately. At first, it seems like Shizune is mad at Misha because she's spending all her time in her work. Thankfully, this is the last day of vacation and, despite a harrowing train trip, they return to school. The obstinate man continually provokes Hisao into arguing and defamation, almost causing Hisao to lose his temper. Misha and Shizune go into town to pick up some last minute souvenirs, leaving Hisao alone with Jigoro. They retreat to Hisao's room and have sex that night. While Jigoro and Misha argue, Shizune and Hisao sneak off. Misha has gotten a drastic new haircut-shorter and sportier. One day, when Jigoro is haranguing Hisao that he should be more like him, Shizune and Misha return from shopping. He constantly berates Hisao (and most everyone else) for being weak and girly and often says hypocritical or insulting things. He is a boisterous, loud, angry man who wears a Hawaiian shirt and a big beard. Shizune's father, Jigoro Hakamichi, makes his presence known the next day. But they spend more time deciding on rules and teams than any actual fishing. All six of them decide to go fishing on the opportunity to have Lilly cook some fresh fish for dinner. Strangely enough, Lilly is there too, with her sister Akira, an androgynous woman dressed as a lawyer. Hisao first meets Hideaki, Shizune's younger brother who Hisao mistakes for a girl due to his androgynous appearance. All three board a train and arrive at Shizune's father's house, which looks like a mansion. But Hisao is hurt that Shizune hasn't invited him, especially since Misha is coming too. Shizune is leaving for a week to visit her family in a nearby province. In the romantic moment, Hisao asks Shizune if she wants to be his girlfriend. Shizune and Hisao find a space on a field and look up at the night sky. Before long, Misha admits that she's tired and leaves. The two girls wear traditional Yukata, which Hisao can't stop staring at. Misha, Shizune, and Hisao attend together. But since Shizune's growing more comfortable around Hisao, he can hardly complain.ДЄfter much preparation, Tanabata comes. Hisao is angry that Shizune knew he could understand them all the time. After Misha tells Hisao that she'll have to be away for a few days to catch up on schoolwork, she confesses that she already told Shizune everything, thinking it would be better this way. But he wants to keep it a secret until he can communicate on her level. Although he struggles, he begins to understand the conversations between Misha and Shizune, thanks to some after-school tutoring from Misha. While the student council prepares a stall for the upcoming Tanabata festival, he signs up for a course in sign language. Synopsis Act 2 - Learning to Read ДЄfter Hisao runs into Shizune alone at the Shanghai, he realizes he would like to learn sign language to communicate with her as an equal.
