However, Tomoya is still living at Nagisa's house, unsure of his future. Meanwhile, Nagisa's father, Akio, announces that they will play a baseball game against the shopping district team from the neighboring town. This game becomes an opportunity to deepen the relationship between Tomoya and Nagisa, as well as the bonds with the people around them.
