School Days - Season 1 - Episode 12

While having dinner with Kotonoha at a restaurant, Makoto receives a phone call from Sekai who’s waiting at his home. Before hanging up he tells Sekai that she ruined his life by getting pregnant and announcing it to the class. Sekai texts him an apology before heading home, but not before she destroys the dinner she had planned to share with Makoto. On the train ride home she catches sight of Kotonoha and Makoto together which causes her to head back to Makoto's. After a brief and tense confrontation with Kotonoha, Sekai leaves in a state of agony after witnessing Makoto and Kotonoha deep kiss in front of her. As she is walking home, it is revealed in a flashback that Sekai knew all along of Setsuna's feelings towards Makoto even to the point of supporting Setsuna to confess. It is only then that Sekai realizes what she has done to Setsuna. The situation worsens overnight when Makoto suggests to Sekai over text that she have an abortion. Overcome by emotion, Sekai stabs Makoto repeatively the next day while at his apartment. He briefly whispers Sekai's name, and promptly dies from the various stab wounds. After a few moments of staring at Makoto's body beneath her, Sekai becomes shocked by her actions and runs away in a panic. Shortly afterwards, Kotonoha arrives at Makoto's home to find him dead. Sekai, who was hiding in her room, receives a cryptic text from Makoto to meet "him" at the school's rooftop. She proceeds there cautiously, carrying the knife she killed Makoto within her jacket. After arriving she is confronted by Kotonoha, who accuses Sekai of lying about being pregnant. Sekai denies lying, and Kotonoha tells Sekai to look inside the gym bag lying on the bench, which contains Makoto's severed head. At that moment, Kotonoha unravels a bloody dozuki and kills Sekai. In a state of insanity she cuts open the womb of Sekai’s lifeless body and upon seeing nothing, concludes that Sekai was lying. On her family’s boat drifting off in the distant ocean, K

#2 - Everybody's Makoto

School Days - Season 1 - Episode 11

Sekai is absent from school for several days, saddened by Setsuna's abrupt departure for France and Makoto's videotaped betrayal with Otome. It is revealed that Hikari has begun having sex with Makoto, who has not seen or attempted to contact Sekai since she started to be absent from school. Kotonoha is still in her lifeless, emotionally broken state, continuously phones and sends text messages to Makoto even though she is blocked. Natsumi, Kumi, and Minami want to know what it's like "having" Makoto, so the next day, they go to Makoto's house and they presumably have sex with him, though it was not shown. While scrolling through old text messages between herself, Setsuna, and Makoto, Sekai suddenly rushes to the bathroom and vomits. Concluding that she is pregnant, she goes to school to inform Makoto, loudly declaring for all in the class to hear that it is his child and insists he take responsibility. One by one, all the girls start to ignore Makoto, though Sekai warms to the fact that she is carrying his child. Kotonoha makes another call on her phone to Makoto, saying that she is waiting for him under the tree by the train station. Otome shows up at Makoto's apartement and tells him that he has changed from the Makoto she knew in Middle School, and not for the better. Afterwards, Makoto goes out for a walk and tries to call every girl in his speed dial, but finds all his calls have been blocked. He ends up where Kotonoha has been waiting for him, and upon seeing her current state, finally realizes the damage he's done to her. He apologizes to Kotonoha and hugs her; life returns to Kotonoha's eyes and she smiles warmly.

Later, Setsuna goes to look for Makoto and overhears him in the gym store room, having sex with Otome. Kotonoha begins to act strangely at her home. Setsuna goes to Makoto's house and tries to get him to remain faithful to Sekai. Setsuna reveals that she hasn't told Sekai anything about finding him with Otome because she does not want to hurt Sekai's feelings. Makoto sees an opportunity and forces himself on her, knowing she has feelings for him. She tries to resist at first, and then consents as long as Makoto swears to break up with Otome.

With mixed feelings of sadness and regret, she says far
