Hakubi detects the scent of an evil aura. Tokine alerts Makio that Shu Akitsu has fully transformed. Takemitsu and Makio have already knocked out and restrained Todoroki to prevent his transformation. Makio asks Tokine and Yoshimori to help him capture Shu. Tokine suggests that Yoshimori should stay in case something happens with Karasumori again. Yoshimori assures her it will behave now, but agrees to stay. Tokine instead asks Souji Hiura to help her, and Yoshimori reminds him of their promise, explaining that Shu is a friend, so Souji shouldn't harm him. Sen is upset that so much trust is being placed in Souji, and though Yoshimori says it will be fine, Sen says he will blame Yoshimori if Shu is hurt.
