It is explained that Kobato's older brother Yōji Haneda was condemned to Naraku, a secluded place in Gredaguard. When his father abused his mother during his childhood, Yōji created three personalities named Takashi, Shūsuke and Hayato in order to protect Kobato. Kakeru takes Takashi and Kobato to a church, where Kobato reminds Takashi of the phrase "that the world may know peace", showing a note that says that their mother poisoned herself to death. Kobato spreads her wings, giving Yōji the resolve to let go of the past. The next day, Kobato introduces Yōji to Akira Yoshikawa, Kobato's best friend. Yōji notifies all of his friends and acquaintances about his multiple personalities, visiting the bar first and then the street. On the way to school by train, he bumps into a timid Misaki Hayashida, who encourages him to tell that special someone the secret that he has been holding back. After encountering the rest of his friends and acquaintances at school, he finally reveals the truth to Asuka, who proceeds to knock him out, resulting in television static. On the way to school the next day, Yōji is distracted by the heroines once again.
