Afterwards, Yumi asks Yū if they could go home together again, which Yū simply answers "yes."

When Yū moved to Hoshinoumi Academy, they met once again at the same pancake cafe. Yū asked her if she could come visit him at his new school. Yumi answered that it's too far and asked if they can at least meet each other once a week. But Yū answered that they couldn't, but he can't explain the reason because he was forced to not talk to anyone about his ability case. Yumi then stood up and uttered her gratitude that he saved her life once. She said that she won't forget her feelings to him but that they're not even dating, so if she follows Yū to Hoshinoumi Academy, it will mean that she's a stalker. She then leaves, saying that this is their farewell and they must go on their separate ways, much to Yū's shock.
