Summary
The Mekakushi Dan confronts Konoha while walking home from the amusement park. Everyone is surprised to see Konoha, especially Ene, noticing him looking directly at them when Kido's ability was being used. After a moment of  silence, Kano takes the stand and talks to Konoha. Konoha begins to smile and talks to Kano about knowing him, which surprises Kano. Kano then turns around to tell the group something but was stopped by Dark Konoha with a gun. After saying a few words, Dark Konoha shoots Kano in the head, driving nearly the entire group hysterical. Seto charges at Dark Konoha, but is shot in the stomach and later the mouth. Kido holds onto Kano's body helplessly as she is repeatedly shot down. Dark Konoha then attempts to come toward Momo, but is stopped by Shintaro before reaching her. After a moment of hesitation Konoha moves forward and Shintaro's phone starts to make sounds. When Shintaro tries to communicate with Ene, Dark Konoha takes the phone away and crushes Ene in his grip. The perspective switches to Shintaro as he thinks his final thoughts and then switches to Shintaro's classroom.

Shintaro checks Ayano's paper and complains about why she's not understanding the material. Ayano says it's his teaching style, but Shintaro harshly ensures her it's her own stupidity. Ayano then changes the subject and talks to Shintaro about heaven. The young man tells her he doesn't believe her because heaven is not proven by science. After accepting his answer, Ayano goes to the teacher's desk and starts to ask Shintaro questions, which he answers all correctly. Shintaro tells Ayano there's no point in asking him, because he already knows them all, and she's the one that needs to study. Ayano then tells him there's something he doesn't know and he needs to. The background then changes to Ayano's funeral, and Ayano asks Shintaro what he thinks why she died.

Shintaro wakes up in his room on August 14 at 12:32, breathing heavily. Not remembering why he was doing that, Shintaro gets up and walks to the computer. The computer is frozen and Shintaro starts to panic. After some time, the computer resumes activity and Shintaro happily drinks his soda. All of the sudden Ene appears, announcing some news from the internet. Shintaro relaxes and comments about her existence. Ene, a bit annoyed, tells Shintaro he opened the soda he's drinking 5 days ago. Angry, Shintaro retorts a reply. At that moment, Shintaro notices his soda spilling into Tono's food and cries. Momo then bursts in, yelling at Shintaro about how loud he was. Shintaro asks Momo to go buy new rabbit food, listing his reasons. Despite his efforts he is dragged out of the house to accompany his sister. The siblings start an argument about her tagging along with him. At that moment, Hiyori and Hibiya enter the scene, ending the argument.
