At a school assembly, Kimari and Shirase are presented to the school to acknowledge them for going on the Antarctic expedition.

Kimari, Shirase, Hinata, and Megumi do karaoke together to commemorate their last night in Japan. In the morning, Megumi is at Kimari’s house to tell her that they can’t be friends anymore.
