Summary
Kakucho asks Izana if he is sure about Kisaki's tactics, to which Izana says he is. Before he leaves, Kisaki tells Izana to become Mikey's emotional support; in the meantime, he will put an end to his little sister. Kisaki says they are moments away from ruling Japan, believing his vision of Toman will finally be achieved.

After Takemichi and Emma buy their drinks, they see a motorcycle riding straight towards them. In the passenger seat, Kisaki screams as he speeds past Takemichi, narrowly avoiding him, and strikes Emma with a bat. Still processing what just occurred, Takemichi sees Emma on the ground; in shock, he realizes Kisaki was targeting Emma. Before driving away, Kisaki tells Takemichi that it is over.

Takemichi remarks on Kisaki's disgraceful strategies, going as far as to attack a girl. As he cradles Emma's motionless body, he realizes everything he has tried to change thus far, with the fates of numerous people depending on him, has been for naught, as Emma is the key to saving Mikey. Crying, he begs her to wake up, as he cannot save her if she dies in the past. Hearing the commotion, Mikey approaches them and sees Emma on the ground.
