GTO

Do something friendly for your friend.

This moment, when you've failed and want to give up,

is your real starting line.

Isn't there a place only people who

try their hardest to make their dreams come true can get to?

You got permission to participate in the UNBA exchange program.

So you'll be spending summer vacation in America?

I already had the abortion.

Serizawa?

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Are you okay?

Can you stand?

Are you okay?

Damn...

A chronic subdural hematoma?

Yes. It seems he damaged a blood vessel when he hit his head,

and it's been hemorrhaging without him realizing it.

Thankfully, they were able to take care of it quickly,

so it looks like it's nothing major.

Yes?

Thank you for coming.

Hello.

Why do you look so confused?

You look well.

Of course I do.

I'll be back on the court tomorrow.

The doctor told you to rest for a while.

You're staying in bed until the sutures come out, so you can't leave yet.

But I'm totally fine!

I'm sorry this happened when the game was so close.

Don't force yourself.

I'm really sorry for the trouble.

Not at all. I'm glad he's doing well.

Thanks.

Later, then.

Make sure you rest.

Thank you.

Thank you.

See you soon.

Yeah.

Shijou Ayuna

You are being transferred to voice mail.

Please leave your name and message after?

Miss Fujikawa Honami

Hello?

So, what did you want to talk about?

I heard from Kuzuki-kun that you?

I told Mr. Onizuka this already,

but it's okay now.

What's "okay"?

Even if I had the baby, I couldn't raise it.

This is for the best.

I'm sorry I worried you.

It's all over now.

Goodbye.

Wait...

Shijou-san!

What's this about?

What's what about?

Why didn't you tell me?

Talking wouldn't have changed the outcome.

I wanted us to?

It's over now.

The thing that connected you and me is gone now.

So...

Let's go back to being just friends.

Please.

Is life worth so little, you can laugh it off?

Huh?

Oh, no...

It's nothing.

Kuzuki...

Serizawa Kouhei

Serizawa!

Surprise!

I'm not surprised, and your pronunciation still sucks.

You look well.

Thanks.

We were pretty worried.

It's no big deal.

It sounds like I might be out of here by tomorrow.

Already?

You okay?

I've just been in bed too long.

Get better soon, or we'll make you run 100 dashes.

Bite me.

Finally, it's my time to shine!

Sure it is!

I hope not.

Hey, that's harsh!

When we were in high school, what did we think about all the time?

I wasn't expecting a serious question like that from you.

Well, we weren't thinking about anything.

Maybe we didn't need to?

We just fought to kill the time.

We told ourselves it was fun.

We told ourselves this was why we were alive.

We didn't want to be like all those living dead guys who have no reason to live.

So we struggled as much as we could.

Living dead, huh?

I'll announce the starters for our next match with Kajino High.

As I'm sure you all know, Serizawa can't play in the next game.

Serizawa

Yuzawa, you're center, and you'll take Serizawa's role as team captain this time.

Okay.

Kiritani, you'll fill the position of small forward.

Kiritani

Okay.

Morino, you'll take Kiritani's position.

Morino

Okay!

Way to go.

Serizawa?

Hey, you're okay now?

Yeah.

How are you feeling?

I'm all right now.

We'll be playing with those members in the next game.

Okay.

Come back soon.

Okay, let's go over the positions for the new members.

Here.

What is this?

Okay, your turn, Serizawa.

Damn... Fall over!

Cut it out! That's not fair!

Yes! You owe me 1,000 yen!

Who decided that?

Me, just now.

Listen, Serizawa.

If you're not feeling well, say so.

Don't keep it to yourself.

Since then,

my left hand and left leg haven't been moving right.

So I've been kind of panicking.

Nothing good comes of panicking.

Take your time to heal up.

It's okay. Everyone will wait for you.

I'll help you out with your therapy until then.

What the heck...

1,000 yen.

I won, right?

You cheated.

Serizawa's coming back soon, right?

Not soon enough to be in the next game, probably.

Seriously?

But it's the preliminaries...

And it's with Kajino High, of all teams.

Can we win?

What are you talking about?

Don't say that before we even play.

I'm tired, to be honest.

Get your act together, would you?

Hey.

Why're you dressed like that?

I'm coming back to the team today.

Are you okay?

Of course I am.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Are you really okay?

I'm fine.

The numbness is gone.

I'm okay, seriously.

See?

I'm 100% better.

Are you okay?

Hey, you okay?

I'm fine.

I just got a little carried away.

It hurts...

Serizawa?

What's wrong?

Serizawa?

Serizawa-kun?

Call an ambulance!

R-Right!

Serizawa!

Hey, Serizawa!

Can you hear me, Serizawa-san?

We're almost there.

Serizawa-san?

Last time, his symptoms were minor, and the treatment worked fine.

But I believe the latest blow to his head

caused new hemorrhaging in the same place.

So what will happen to my son?

Just like last time, his life isn't in danger.

But this time, the bleeding put pressure on the brain in a short amount of time,

so there's more damage to the brain.

So...

I'd like you to be prepared for the worst.

What is that?

He will remain paralyzed.

Of course, with physical therapy, he'll regain a degree of grip strength,

and the chance that he'll be able to walk isn't zero.

But he won't be able to run or play sports like before.

No...

No!

Serizawa-kun...

Serizawa...
