## Synopsis

Emma darts forward as the planks fall towards Sophie's head. Suddenly, Yohan appears and shoves Emma and Sophie out of the way. The wooden planks smash to the ground, missing Yohan and Emma by a hair. Yohan checks to make sure the girls are alright as Sophie opens her eyes. She becomes instantly horrified at the sight of Yohan in the warehouse and, with a red face, demands to know how much of the conversation he witnessed. With an uncharacteristically solemn face, Yohan admits that he was present from the beginning. He recalls anxiously wondering when to intervene as an infuriated Hanamika was slapping Sophie, before ultimately deciding to refrain from making an appearance. Tears well up in Sophie's eyes as she realizes that Emma, who knows of Sophie's crush on Yohan, plotted with Hanamika to trick her. She rises to her feet and dashes away in a frenzy. Before the others can follow in pursuit, another wooden plank slips from the roof and falls on top of Emma and Yohan, crushing them. Hanamika lifts the plank off their backs and suggests to leave, determining that the building is unsafe.

Students begin surrounding the warehouse, claiming to have heard loud noises. Yohan assures the others that he will take full responsibility for any repercussions they might incur after using the building without permission. He then proceeds to ask the students for help in locating Sophie's whereabouts, expressing concern for her safety. The students agree and split off in search parties. With everything resolved, Yohan turns around and catches Emma deeply immersed in thought. Emma recalls the incident with Rupert Patrovsky, where an anonymous female student falsely accused her of plagiarism. Uncomfortably, Emma confesses to suspecting Sophie as a possible suspect. Yohan and Hanamika both deduce that Sophie is unlikely the culprit behind the incident. Yohan explains that since Patrovsky often followed the same pattern with other students, it is safe to assume that the female student does not exist. Hanamika mentions that Sophie has a cowardly personality that resorts to petty pranks but lacks the fortitude to incite sexual harassment. Emma sighs in relief, admitting that this revelation makes it easier for her to forgive Sophie. At these words, Yohan expresses his admiration for Emma's capacity for forgiveness, considering that Sophie has yet to apologize for her misdeeds. With a gentle smile, he advises Emma to rest back in her room.

Some time later, Yohan encounters Hanamika outside of the warehouse. Surprised to see that Hanamika is still hanging around, he informs her that he intends to join the search party for Sophie. Hanamika takes out a first aid kit, explaining that she noticed how he holds his back from time to time and deduced that he is injured. Unable to deny it, Yohan praises her intuition and sits down on the grass. Hanamika opens the kit as Yohan removes his shirt, revealing a large bruise in the middle of his back. Perplexed, she asks if the bruise came from the fallen wooden planks. Yohan admits that he received the injury when Emma fell on top of him back in the woods. As Hanamika carefully applies ointment on the bruise, she reprimands him for always sacrificing his own safety for the sake of others. She admits that she was shocked when Yohan suddenly jumped in to save Emma back in the warehouse. Sheepishly, Yohan explains that he intervened because he was confident Emma was going to save Sophie. He declares that Emma is an amazing person. Hanamika suddenly realizes that Yohan has feelings for Emma. As she voices her revelation, Yohan's face burns red with embarrassment.

With his wound properly treated, Yohan puts his shirt back on. As she carefully repacks the first aid kit, Hanamika casually asks when he plans to confess. Yohan becomes startled by the question. Hanamika explains that Emma is a good person and that she and Yohan suit one another. Dejectedly, Yohan informs Hanamika that Emma is already in a relationship. Undeterred by this revelation, Hanamika states that since Emma and her boyfriend can easily break up, as they are yet to be married. Yohan listens, speechless, as Hanamika continues to explain that he should seize any opportunity to steal Emma's heart.

Hanamika decides to join Yohan on the search for Sophie, pointing out that he is likely to get lost if left alone. They walk in silence for several moments before Yohan suddenly thanks her. Slightly confused, Hanamika remarks that she has not done anything to deserve a thanks. Yohan notes that she is the person who found him and Emma in the woods, and the one who helped treat his injury. He confesses that he enjoys being in her presence, cheerfully declaring that she is truly his best friend. Hanamika smiles and agrees with him.
