During a late-night pursuit of a convenience-store thief, the two are overpowered and assaulted, leaving Natsuo shattered and disillusioned. While he begins to distance himself from Koide, the man he once connected with, Koide unexpectedly encounters Kirino at a bar, leading to a dangerous entanglement.
