Mari introduces the DTO plan to Hana, and they begin plotting ways to drive the boys out of school. Shingo leads the others boys in shunning Kiyoshi, but Meiko has plans to drive an even deeper wedge between them.

The boys are resigned to their upcoming expulsions, and spirits are low, until Gakuto, suffering a bout of temporary insanity, devises one last strategy to get them out of their predicament, if they can just buy enough time to pull it off.
