Prior to the grenade incident with Yuri and Nise, he is the same with others with Angel masks who are completely under its influence and are devoid of their own reasoning. He survived the explosion and as a result, his mask had a crack on the right side, near his ear, causing it to malfunction. He regained his consciousness and some of his memories and is now able to talk and analyze his situation. However, he is still unable to disobey the mask's orders to make humans commit suicide or to kill them if they do not show signs of despair.
