Haise Sasaki and the Quinx Squad visit a nightclub in the 13th Ward where Nutcracker is rumored to frequent. Ginshi Shirazu conspicuously argues about the authenticity of his appearance but is responded with playful teasing. Shirazu is bothered by Haise's ability to flawlessly disguise himself as a woman, his mentor having too much fun with the situation. He curses Kuki Urie for being the only one absent, as he is still recovering from surgery. Alone, Haise thinks about Shirazu's question and wonders if "Haise" would die if he regained his memories. He does not want to forget his friends.
