The various leaders of the Defense Force discussed Kafka’s fate while Mina prepared to take Kafka inside a van. While departing, Ichikawa spoke out of turn and announced his faith in Kafka. Kafka, however, seemed certain that everyone, including Mina, Hoshino, Kikoru, and Ichikawa, hated him for his audacious move.

Once they were out of others’ sight, Mina consoled Kafka by telling him he was not seen as an enemy by anyone in the Third Division. Kafka asked Mina if he could stand by her side, and she answered positively.

Later, Kikoru gathered courage and visited her father in his office to plead for Kafka. Isao dismissed her, reminding her that Kafka belonged to the species that killed her mother. However, Kikoru remained resolute about her trust in Kafka.

Finally, the episode sets up a fight between Isao and Kafka. Although Kafka tried holding back, he lost control of his body and found himself attacking Isao deliberately.
