A Border squad led by Shūji Miwa arrives at the scene where they find the bullies and the defeated Neighbor. They wonder who defeated it as they are the first unit to arrive. Meanwhile, Kuga explains to Mikumo that the Neighbor was a Trion Soldier created by humans living beyond the portal. Mikumo decides to look out for Kuga, who naively waves a bundle of money in the crowd. It attracts the attention of thugs wanting to get a hand of his money, but Kuga outwits them.
