Summary
Izana tells Tetta Kisaki that the decoy for the attack on Emma has been turned in, ensuring Kisaki's safety. Kisaki says he is confident that he knows Mikey better than anyone; he tells Izana that leadership does not require intelligence, it requires "influence". Calling Mikey the Supreme "Medium", he believes Mikey's potential will be destroyed if he continues to associate with who Kisaki sees as lowlives from Toman.

Kisaki reveals that he manipulated Kiyomasa into stabbing Draken; this plan failed when Takemichi intervened, saving Draken's life. Izana remarks that Takemichi seemed insignificant when he first encountered him. Kisaki says that his next plan was creating Valhalla and designating Mikey as the leader; however, Baji saw through his plan, so Kisaki manipulated Kazutora into stabbing Baji. Kisaki vows to eliminate anyone who interferes with his plans; he says that although he never felt satisfied, watching Mikey lose his loved ones felt sublime.

He says that with Mikey as the "medium", he will be reborn; Izana asks if directly killing Emma was required for this, as he does not understand why Kisaki would risk dirtying his hands, since he could have simply manipulated Emma's death, just as he had in the past. He asks Kisaki what inspired this change; Kisaki responds by asking why Izana only asked that of him, when he has killed Izana's blood relative. Izana says that in the ten years that he was institutionalized, Shinichiro was the only person who visited him; his love was the only thing fulfilling Izana. Izana tells Kisaki that he only cares about what Shinichiro loved; now, Kisaki's malice is what fulfills him. Because of this, Izana will allow Kisaki to manipulate him. Comparing himself to Mikey, Izana says that they are both feeling empty; leaving to manipulate Mikey, he tells Kisaki that Toman is his' now. Overlooking the city, Kisaki taunts Takemichi internally, wondering what he can do now.

At Asagaya Hospital, Takemichi watches as Draken reacts in shock to seeing Emma's body. Mikey is reduced to a catatonic state from the trauma of Emma's death.
