Summary
Everyone is astounded by Mikey's appearance; as Kokonoi points out, his sister just died and he should be grieving. Walking up to Izana and Kisaki, Mikey asks to talk to Takemichi first. As Takemichi cries tears of relief, Mikey hugs him, thanking him; however, Takemichi is still concerned about Mikey, as he should not be in the right mental state. Just then, the sound of Draken's motorcycle signals his arrival; as Takemichi questions why both of them are there, Hina is revealed to be with them.

Earlier, after Takemichi left the hospital, Hina requests to talk with a distraught Mikey. She tells him that Takemichi tried to save Emma, which prompts Draken to yell at her, telling her that she should not be saying things like that. As he remarks that both Takemichi and her have said similar things, telling her to leave them alone, Hina confesses that Takemichi is trying to save a lot of people at once. She explains that she will die in twelve years; Takemichi came from the future to save her. Though they may not believe her, Takemichi's palpable desperation confirms this. Crying, Hina says that although Takemichi wants to save everyone, she is powerless to help him. This brings Mikey and Draken out of their despair, as they remember the numerous times Takemichi has tried to save Toman.
