“There is no need to force yourself to come…” the words of Yukino have cut deep into Hachiman causing him anguish. A car drove up near Hachiman where Hiratsuka-sensei appears and tells him to get in as they drive by the Mihama Ohashi Bridge. “You think you can guess what people are thinking. But you don’t understand their emotions”. From the kind words of Hiratsuka-sensei what answer will Hachiman find? The behaviour will cause the relationship of service club members that advance!
