[02:19] Claire     ...was the Kanata with those eyes. [02:29] Claire     That was the first day [02:31] Claire     I ever lost a match. [02:35] (Flashback) Marissa     That must've been really frustrating. [02:38] (Flashback) Claire     W-Well... [02:41] (Flashback) Marissa     But you see... This is a     big chance for both of you.

[04:12] Claire     The Kanata I'd known was gone, [04:16] Claire     and my goal had eventually faded away. [04:21] Claire     That's what I thought... [04:27] Claire     ...until that day. [04:36] (Flashback) Kanata     Got it, Haruka? [04:38] (Flashback) Haruka     Okay, Kanata! [04:46] Claire     My heart was beating so fast. [04:48] Claire     I thought that maybe the old Kanata was back. [04:54] Claire     Because of that, I did everything     I could for those two.

[09:13] Ayasa     Well, we're just going to have     to wait to hear from Ooshiro-san. [09:18] Narumi     Yeah. [09:26] Haruka     Hey, Kanata... [09:28] Kanata     Yes? [09:29] Haruka     I thought about this earlier, too, [09:31] ---     but when it's harder for me to stop     Kanna-san or Claire's spikes, [09:36] ---     is it because... [09:38] Kanata     Yes. It's because we were on     the downwind side of the court. [09:54] Haruka     So if I work on my topspin, like Kanna-san... [10:00] Haruka     I mean, we won't have any     time to practice, but... [10:03] Kanata     Yeah. [10:18] Emily     At this point, we're basically     playing head-to-head. [10:21] Claire     Yeah. We don't have time to hesitate. [10:39] Claire     Heads. [10:40] Haruka     Tails. [10:43] Ref     The Oozora and Higa pair will get to decide. [10:47] Haruka     We'll choose the court sides. [10:51] Ref     The third set will be a 15-point match.

I think. [11:05] Haruka     We're going to win, Kanata. [11:08] Kanata     Yeah. [11:20] Claire     We're going to win, Emily. [11:28] Haruka     Kanata! [11:39] Emily     Claire!

SIGN    Oozora Haruka Higa Kanata SIGN    Claire Thomas Emily Thomas [12:53] ---     Haruka... [12:54] Haruka     Got it. [13:04] Haruka     I thought about this earlier, too, [13:07] ---     but when it's harder for me to stop     Kanna-san or Claire's spikes, [13:11] ---     is it because... [13:18] Kanata     Yes.

[14:13] Mai     But that's not all. [14:15] Ai     What are you talking about? [14:17] Mai     In their last match, one of their opponents     kept using spikes with topspin. [14:23] Mai     I think those two got the idea to try     it out themselves after seeing that. [14:28] Ai     I see. So that's why for this set [14:30] ---     they chose the side of the     court that was upwind. [14:44] Claire     I'll get it this time. [14:51] Claire     Got it! SIGN    Oozora Haruka Higa Kanata SIGN    Claire Thomas Emily Thomas [15:18] Haruka     We got stopped at three points. [15:21] Haruka     We knew this, but Claire and     Emily are tough opponents. [15:24] Kanata     Yeah... This might not work on them anymore. [15:28] Kanata     But let's keep taking advantage of this      chance while we're on the upwind side. [15:32] Haruka     Of course. SIGN    Oozora Haruka Higa Kanata SIGN    Claire Thomas Emily Thomas [16:21] Emily     Here! [16:38] Mai     Looks like both pairs are pretty exhausted. [16:41] Ai     I think they're just fighting with     sheer willpower at this point. [16:45] Akari     Right. [16:46] Akari     They all know everything     about each other, so...

[19:36] Emily     Are you okay? [19:39] Emily     Claire? [19:40] Claire     I was just thinking... [19:42] Emily     About what? [19:43] Claire     That it'd be great if we could     keep playing this match forever. [19:54] Claire     But... [20:00] Claire     We're going to end this by winning! [20:05] Emily     Right. [20:10] Haruka     Are you okay, Kanata? [20:18] Kanata     Just who do you think I am? [20:21] Kanata     Are you okay, Haruka? [20:24] Haruka     Of course I am! [20:35] Haruka     Sorry... [20:38] Haruka     I lied just a little bit. [20:44] Kanata     Me, too. [20:50] Haruka     They're at match point. [20:53] Kanata     Haruka... [20:54] Haruka     I messed up at the worst time.
