Thanks to Betterman, Keita miraculously makes it back in one piece to Akamatsu Industries' headquarters. Between playing videogames with Mr. Akamatsu and leering at female employees, Keita learns Algernon caused the deaths at Bottom World. After filling in for Cactus, Hinoki's missing -- and subsequently murdered -- co-pilot, what role will Keita play in combating Algernon? None, unless it's determined he's actually a Dual Kind, which is why he's heading off to Mode Warp, accompanied by Hinoki and Miyako Asami--a female scientist, to undergo a battery of tests.
