After Yotaka dissolves, Hirato arrives to pursue Meiga. Kiichi prevents Meiga's detached arm from attacking Yogi before departing. With Yogi badly injured, Tsubame left to mourn and Gareki withholding his feelings, this leaves Nai with a heavy heart. Meiga is restrained by Hirato, who is soon joined by Tsukitachi. Yogi explains to Tsubame of Kafka's purpose of human experimentation and Circus's resolve to strike back. Because of this, Tsubame wishes to set free since she was once a human experiment. Kiichi and Jiki find no trace of Meiga being affiliated with Kafka, reporting this to Hirato and Tsukitachi. Since Meiga will not give up any information, Hirato performs a burial on Meiga, and news of this reaches Palnedo. After Hirato, Tsukitachi, Kiichi and Jiki reunite with Nai, Gareki, Yogi and Tsubame, Tsukitachi takes Tsubame to visit her dying grandfather in a hospital, although Gareki visited there earlier. After leaving the hospital, Tsubame begs Tsukitachi to use her in order to bring Kafka down.
