Five years ago, Ahm had found Nakiami attempting to prevent Raigyo from dying when he first turned into Xam'd. Raigyo asks for the crew to take a picture together by sunset. During a target practice session, Furuichi shows excellence in accuracy, while Haru seems to be troubled. Before the picture is taken, Nakiami blames herself for being a bother to Ishu. Kagisu tells Haru to let go of the past and focus on her military career. Akiyuki is shocked to see the Hiruko in his arm shining in the photographs. Two years ago, when Haru's mother died after a car accident, Akiyuki came to comfort her to ease her suffering. As a humanform heads toward the Zanbani, Raigyo puts Akiyuki to the test to prove his skill in combat.
