Then came the day of the Memorial Cup. Hitoka rushed to the game, wanting to witness the Bulls' victory as a member of the team. And, responding to Hitoka's wish, Hideo, who had been blaming himself, also decided to come and watch the game. However, Keijiro was nowhere to be seen.

And it was Hitoka who helped him up. Hitoka apologized again, and Keijiro, with tears in his eyes but a smile on his face, said, "Do you want to go back to your old world? I'm here now. I'm going to live here. So if you fall down, Hitoka, just help me up like this. Don't think about unnecessary things. So don't apologize again."
On social media, many people expressed how moved they were by Keijiro's actions, with comments such as, "The tears Keijiro shed when he said, 'So, never apologize again,' were so beautiful," and "Keijiro's tears were so beautiful."
