Kenji falls unconscious after seeing hallucinations of Hiroki and Tsukasa. Katsuragi then arrives on the scene and orders Hiroki and Tsukasa to “crush” Kenji because of the secrets the latter has discovered. Taking Hiroki’s objections into consideration, Tsukasa proposes a way for the two of them to take care of the situation without crushing Kenji.

Tsukasa finds himself face to face with the fugitive Hayashi. While Tsukasa expresses a mixture of joy at their reunion and bitterness at having been abandoned in the first place, it appears that the two of them are now at cross purposes. Back at the hotel, Satoru goes to the bar and meets Jin, a woman connected to the Company. Satoru is wary, but Jin has an offer to make him.

Meiling is also an image user, but unlike Hiroki and the others, she hasn’t been provided with a complete peak. However, that is exactly the type of pet that the Company prefers. With Meiling in tow, Company employee Long appears in front of Dahao, ready to settle an old score for the CEO.

Satoru read Hayashi’s message and learned the truth about everything, but was then shot by Long. Tsukasa thinks this signals the completion of his plans and goes to be with Hiroki. However, Hiroki has a question for Tsukasa and the pair must find an answer between them.
