After Takemichi time leaps back to the present, he finds out that all notable members of Toman have died in the hands of Mikey. Distraught, he decides to go home where he finds a letter stamped with the Philippine postmark. He confirms that it is from Mikey and takes off on a plane to Manila with Naoto Tachibana.

In the city, he meets up with Mikey who directed him to the ruins where Shinichiro had found the motorcycle engines. Mikey confesses to murdering the heads of Toman and asks Takemichi to shoot him as punishment for his wrongdoings, but is eventually shot by Naoto after threatening to kill Takemichi who defies his request to kill him. Their encounter in Manila ends with Mikey's demise and the realization that he had the gun on safety all along, never intending to kill Takemichi with it in the first place.
