The day after the festival, Shinichirō goes to Jun to apologize for Noe's broken leg, though Jun says he will not forgive him. Jun later sees Hiromi and breaks it off with her, saying that he never loved her, not even a little bit. Shinichirō decides to show his picture book to Noe, but she refuses, so he says he is going to throw it into the sea, which he does by ripping out the pages and making them into paper airplanes. Noe interferes and they manage to recover all but the last page, but Noe looks at the rest of them. Shinichirō and Noe part with him telling her that while he is in love with Hiromi, his heart wavers when he looks at Noe. Shinichirō goes to see Hiromi at night and tells her that he will always be with her. Several months later in the spring, Noe is finally able to shed tears for the first time in years.

Il volo di Noe termina su un cumulo di neve; la ragazza, a parte la frattura della gamba sinistra, non ha gravi conseguenze. Jun incontra prima Shin'ichirō, al quale rimprovera di non aver capito i sentimenti di Noe e poi Hiromi, con la quale rompe definitivamente tutti i rapporti.
