Description

The Frozen Lake Thanks to Uobuchi's training, Inori is quickly able to master the triple flip and triple Lutz in a single day. After Uobuchi takes his leave, Tsukasa decides to continue the training himself. However, while training Inori, his inexperience with using the harness causes him to fall on the ice and crack one of his ribs. Seeing Tsukasa get hurt emotionally disturbs Inori to the point where she regresses and can no longer complete her complex jumps. Concerned, Tsukasa arranges another meeting with Uobochi, though both he and Inori will have to travel overnight to Niigata to make the appointment. On the way to Niigata, they stop at Lake Suwa where Inori expresses her concern over Tsukasa's injury. Tsukasa insists that everything will work out somehow. As Tsukasa carries an exhausted Inori back to the car, Inori muses that since Tsukasa has a higher than normal body temperature, he must have been born to skate. This touches Tsukasa, as he had gone so long with nobody affirming he had a natural talent for skating, and swears that he will make Inori into the type of skater where everybody will have to acknowledge she was born to skate as well.
