After killing Shoko, Satou returns to Apartment No. 1208, and passes out into a deep sleep. Shio doesn't know about what happened, and starts thinking about her mother, Yuuna, who left home and abandoned her. Shio's father was always violent towards Shio's poor mother, who was scared, sad, and also very kind.
When Asahi gets attacked by a group of thugs, Satou and Mitsuboshi protect him. Satou senses that Asahi and Shio are connected to each other through a special relationship, and is almost overcome with anger. Meanwhile, Shio starts to worry when Satou is late coming home, and leaves the apartment to search for her around town at night alone.
