==Act 3 ~ Sleight of Hand==

[[File:2Sleight-of-Hand.png|thumb|left|Act 3: Sleight of Hand]]

Hisao arives in school eaarly so he can speak to Shizune, however she is there first. With the summer holiday approching he wants to spend time with her. Als she reveals she'll be going to see her family. Upon finding out that Misha will be going with her (since no her family does not know sign) Hisao invites himself along too.

They leave for Saitama the next morning where Hisao comments that Shizunes house is more like a mansion and meets Hideaki whom he initially mistakes for Shizune's younger sister due to his dress sense. Inside Hisao discovers that Lilly is present and is introduced to her older sister, Akira. Lilly and Shizune are cool towards one another again, but Akira deflects attention with the suggestion of a fishing trip, ostensibly so she can get Lilly to cook for them. At the river Shizune attempts to make the trip a competition, although the idea evaporates and in time so does some of the antipathy between Lilly and Shizune. In the end the group has fun and Akira is pleased to have had the experience since she tells Hisao Lilly and her are going a way for a time.

Hisao has trouble sleeping well and wakes up late, meeting Hideaki, who has been given the task of keeping him entertained for the day, although has little success but does reveal the antipthy between Lilly and Shizune's fathers who are brother-in-law. They eventually head to a nearby park in the hope of finding the girls. Hisao is bothered that the Hakamichi's don't know sign and offers to teach Hideaki, though Misha and Shizune arrive presently and they head home.

Jigoro, Shizune's father, is introduced. He is rude and confrontational, insulting Hisao's sweater vest. The trio make a hasty retreat to town. Hideaki requests Hisao teach him some sign language, which pleases Hisao, although he encounters difficutly and they take a break. When questioned about Yamaku Hisao reflects on how the students there live normal lives, and how he feels bad for his thoughts about it in the prologue. He also mentions Hanako, Lilly, Emi and Rin, commenting favourably on their individual characteristics. Jigoro interrupts and talks at length about his autobiography and is overwhelmingly hippocritical. He also insults Hisao's sweater again. Thankfully Shizune arrives, having been shopping for new clothes for Hisao of all things. Misha follows, having had her hair cut short, though Shizune deems this a poor choice, preferring her old hair. As Jigoro rants she and Hisao escape inside. Following a conversation about how fun it is to drag people into her life, she and Hisao awkwardly fall onto the couch together, and he becomes flustered and leaves.

Shizune follows him to his room where he says she makes him nevous because of how she pulls people along, causing her to wonder if she wants to be like that any more. She kisses him and ties his hands behind his back, tenderly stroking them. Inspite of this initial confidence Shizune beomes nervous, in contrast to her usual demeanour. As does Hisao, thankful that she cannot see his surgery scar. The two have sex, and afterwards when she unties him Shizune gently touches Hisao's hands again, causing Hisao to comment how much closer he feels to her in this moment that the one just prior.

However an awkwardness follows in the coming days, and Misha claims to be too tired to teach Hisao more sign language. He becomes embroiled in an argument with Jigoro about the student council. Hisao defends Shizune and tells Jigoro that he should be as proud of her accomplishments as she is. Jigoro retaliates that though he hired tutors and interpreters for her Shizune would not talk to him, she would not be normal. Realising that he cannot be reasoned with Hisao gives up and Jigoro leaves.

The next morning, if Hisao rejects Misha's advances, he realizes that Misha's situation hit him harder than he thought. Feeling depressed, he skips class and hides in the library. Shizune finds him, and confronts him, remarking that she hasn't seen Misha all day either. The conversation eventually leads to the fact she's noticed Hisao's distress, and she asks him if he's all right. When he asks the same question of Shizune, she doesn't give a complete answer, and leaves. Hisao heads up to the roof, where he finds Misha sitting alone, depressed. It is now that she tells Hisao the truth: she has feelings for Shizune as well. She admits that she didn't initially want to come to Yamaku High, and she got dragged into the Student Council by Shizune just like Hisao. Shizune pushed her so hard to succeed, motivating her to get better at sign language and work hard in Student Council, that she eventually fell in love with her. She confessed her feelings to Shizune, and got rejected, and what bothers her most is that Shizune treated this event like she does with everything else: wiping it away, and moving on, as though it never happened. Misha's bitterness festered for 2 years, before Hisao showed up and began immediately growing just as close to Shizune as Misha had always wanted to be. All this time, Misha has been drifting away, eaten alive by her jealousy, angry at herself for being a hateful person. She is now having suicidal thoughts, and leans against the fence on the roof, as if she hopes to fall through it. Hisao pulls her back, and opens up, explaining his time at the hospital, and noting that Shizune doesn't let people in close unless it's on her terms. He knows she probably only got so close to Hisao because he rejected her so adamantly. She is always trying to pull people in close, and his determination not to let her in drove her to push harder. Hisao tells Misha that he admires her for having struggled the same way he had, all for the same reasons, and he is sad and angry that she is giving up. Shizune finds Hisao and Misha alone, and, sensing the tension in the air, proposes that they do something fun together in the Student Council room. Hisao remarks that it sounds like another trap to do more work, and Misha laughs. The tension subsides, and they leave together hand-in-hand.
