After the title card, Brain is then placed in a wheelchair at the hospital. He has difficulty coping with it, until he meets Lydia, who is also in a wheelchair because she was born unable to walk.
When playing basketball with Lydia, Brain doesn't do well, so Lydia helps Brain improve his skills while in the wheelchair. After a few days of training, Brain and Lydia go to the Ice Cream Shop, but discover that it is not wheelchair accessible.
They instead go to The Sugar Bowl, and while talking to each other there, Francine approaches and tells Brain that she could take over for him in the basketball game. Lydia assures her that Brain will do great.
