This impacts the other six of the group as they start to resolve their problems while suspending the project until Shoya awakens. As she believes she is the sole reason for the parting of the group, Shoko attempts to kill herself and is rescued by Shoya, who gets badly hurt in the process, falling into a coma.

To make amends, he reunites with Shoko, who is still lonely due to her shyness.
