Madoka makes them an offer, gather 100 coins for him then he will use the power to grant their wishes, though first one of them must die as revenge for Morita's injuries, excluding Clair as he can sense she is a ruthless killer and therefore too valuable. Clair lays out the options, either they all die fighting or one of them dies and the rest live with the guilt. Miku, a girl who can turn invisible, suggests she assassinate Madoka in his human form, but this is deemed too risky. Clair comes up with an escape plan and has Isao grow thousands of Oleander plants. Clair also tries to send Shuichi away, believing he is too kind to do what is necessary, but he insists on helping. Clair realises love can make kind people do ruthless things and wonders about Elena's motives. Ikeuchi abandons the group and begs Madoka to keep him and Chihiru safe, but is too late as Shuichi sets the flowers on fire so Clair doesn't have to do it herself. Isao explains Oleander is highly poisonous, and if burnt produces poisonous smoke. Ikeuchi tries to explain this to Madoka, but his betrayal activates Koyanagi's hair necklace and his head is severed. Madoka's friends begin dying and despite his desperate efforts to save them they all die together in the smoke and fire. Koyanagi decides Clair scares her now she has seen what Clair is willing to do. Clair believes she finally knows why Elena gave her another coin, she is wrought with guilt over her actions and desperately wants Clair to save her from herself. Meanwhile, Elena confronts the alien.
