On a dilapidated field the coach orders Felix and teammates to clear grass and take fifty shots after missed chances. She identifies Felix's "Perfect Balance"—it steadies him but adds a 0.3s delay that makes shots predictable—and promises to teach him to exploit balance under unstable conditions.

She refuses: she'll only go back after she turns these "trash and losers" into champions, leaving the team's fate unresolved.
