Kafuka manages to use her weight to snap the rope, thus saving his life.

Ms. Arai brings Nozomu to the counseling room, where she explains Matoi's obsessive-stalker tendencies to Nozomu.

5Removing Toxins and Stains2007-08-0425 minOn physical examination day, many of the girls are feeling stress about their weight, measurements and fitness. Nozumu distracts them by deciding to judge the "social worth" of students so that they will know whether they are living "above their station."
