As Tsukushi does not want to be a bother to the others, he asks the captain Mizuki Hisahito for permission to run everybodys laps by himself.

Everybody is shaken by this, especially Kazama and Tsukushi, who both feel something theyve never felt before. Tsukushi does the one thing he can, he runs without giving his body any pause. Thats when Ubukata intercepts him and sits him down for a serious talk.
