The airship lands on a coast so its crew members can recuperate. Meanwhile, Ryuzo voices his concerns to Kagisu about the anti-humanform research project. Due to the incident that happened on the airship earlier, Nakiami decides to return to her homeland, but Akiyuki wants to go with her for his reasons as well. Ishu says she never considered Nakiami to have ever been a bother to her. The crew members see Nakiami and Akiyuki off as they take leave. Elsewhere, Haru pays a visit to Furuichi, and she eventually finds out that he has become a Xam'd as well, much to her sympathy.
