As Keiichi lies inside his house on his futon, he quickly jerks upright when he realizes that if he never killed Teppei, then that means Satoko still lives under his abuse. His resolve setting back in, Keiichi picks up the axe inside a storage room by his house—Satoshi’s bat was found to be missing earlier. Keiichi begins to move toward his bike when he stops. However, after stopping, he hears an extra footstep following him just as Rena had described Satoshi’s condition days ago. Believing it to be Satoshi, Keiichi checks behind him to see nothing but the wall of his house. He shakes off the ominous feeling, and as he points the axe at the fading sun (as grey clouds gradually cover it up) he says “Do what you want! I don't care anymore!”
