It starts off with Kōko and Banri meeting Nijigen at the wrong place, and delays in picking up Chinami and Mitsuo. Heavy traffic slows their exit from the city. It rains despite contrary forecasts. The group arrives in the middle of a rainstorm. Needing to use the restroom, Kōko gets out of the car in her swimsuit, and the rest of the group follows. The rain stops and the group enjoys their beach day. With Nijigen feeling exhausted, Kōko instead drives the car back home. Along the way, Banri falls asleep despite trying his best efforts to remain awake. Shortly afterword, Kōko becomes tired and falls asleep at the wheel. Moments before the car swerves out of control, Banri wakes up and hits the brakes, causing the car to come to a complete stop after colliding with the guard rail. (Source: Wikipedia)

    The accident gives Chinami a bloody lip, dents the car's bumper, and damages the guard rail. The group is escorted back to the city by the police. Upon arrival, Kōko gets slapped by her father, and the trip to Barcelona is cancelled. On the next day, Banri, Mitsuo, Chinami, and Nijigen meet with all of them taking responsibility. Banri feels the most at-fault for not keeping Kōko awake. Banri goes to Kōko's home to talk with her, finding Kōko unwilling to get out of bed. The accident reminds Kōko that she has acted immaturely despite being an adult. Banri tells Kōko that despite needing to grow up she needs to remain true to herself. Kōko tells Banri about a dream she had where she was riding in a car with Banri and at a place where they are told to stop the car, Kōko gets off and the car drives away, which makes her believe that if Banri should regain his memories that he would fall in love with Linda instead of her. Kōko's father enters her room and orders Banri to cook some ramen, while Kōko returns to bed. (Source: Wikipedia)

    #24 - Yes No

    S1:E6

    In a dream, Banri remembers that after his love confession to Linda, she agreed to tell him her response the following night on the bridge where Banri would have his accident. Kōko notices Banri's unusual behavior around Linda, but when she questions him, he denies that anything is wrong. Chinami finds the two and invites them to a party, but Kōko declines out of dislike for Chinami, but this does not dissuade Chinami, who explains to Banri that she likes Kōko. Banri convinces Kōko to attend, alongside Mitsuo and Nijigen, but Kōko and Mitsuo end up arguing about Chinami, which ends with Mitsuo confessing to Chinami, and her turning him down. On their way home, Banri decides to end his friendship with Kōko, due to her lasting infatuation for Mitsuo, and despite Kōko's objections, he leaves her. The next day, Linda notices the tense atmosphere between the two, but when she inquires about it, Banri confronts her about not telling him that they previously knew each other. Linda explains that she said nothing out of fear of confusing him and driving him away, while also admitting her guilt in feeling that she had caused Banri's accident by not responding to his confession sooner. Afterwards, Kōko meets up with Banri to learn what happened, but he takes off running due to the revelation that Linda might have reciprocated his feelings years ago, and how her answer would have affected his life. Before he can wonder if having the same accident would let him do things over again, Kōko manages to catch up to Banri and tells him not leave her, confessing that she loves him. (Source: Wikipedia)

    #25 - With You Again

    S1:E9

    Kōko suddenly falls ill and does not come to school for several days. When she does return, Banri notices she is dejected, but she denies anything is wrong, until she breaks down in tears and relays to Banri her fears that he might one day leave her. Banri reassures her he will not, and the spirit of Banri, who was observing, comments on a similar situation between him and Linda. In a flashback to the summer of their third year in high school, Linda tells Banri that she learned that her brother's fiancé was having an affair, and gets him to help her expose it. When the two photograph the affair, Linda has a change of heart and deletes all the photos, and instead confronts her brother's fiancé and tells her she will keep it secret, but to never let it happen again. Afterwards, Barni vehemently voices his disapproval of her decision, but apologizes when he notices how troubled she is by her own deceit. Banri comforts Linda by saying she is not alone, and he will bear the lie she knows with her, and will always find her and be there for her, but he fails to reassure her when she asks. In the present time, Banri and Linda meet and talk, where Banri mentions Kōko is sick again, while Linda mentions her family and brother. When Banri shows he does not remember she had a brother, a saddened Linda leaves, but not before she uses the words he used to comfort her in the past to encourage him to be there for Kōko. The spirit of Banri who witnessed this, regrets that he did not confess his true feelings for Linda in the moment she sought reassurance from him, and notes that it is too late for them. However the next morning, the spirit of Banri awakens to find himself back inside his physical body. (Source: Wikipedia)
