After Kindaka’s death, the previous chapter revisits the moment. Uzuki attempted to escape, but Akao successfully caught him and held him down while pointing her gun at him. Her anger was evident as she accused Uzuki of being responsible for Kindaka’s death by not using the antidote. She questioned if it was an intentional act.

Uzuki admitted that it was a deliberate action, causing Akao to question his intentions. In reply, he became defensive and claimed he had no alternative. Instead of resorting to violence, Akao was curious to hear the full account.

Uzuki exposed that his loved ones were being held captive. If he had not eliminated Kindaka, they would have killed Gaku, a thirteen-year-old boy who he saw as a younger brother.

The speaker explained that he grew up in a facility where orphans were groomed to become assassins for the JAA. These children were deprived of the opportunity to lead their own lives and were coerced into completing impossible tasks and taking lives against their wishes. The orphanage was under the supervision of Asaki.

At this moment, they were suddenly attacked by assassins who accused them of killing Kindaka. Akao swiftly took down each of the assailants. She sympathized with Uzuki, understanding the need to protect loved ones, and made the decision to assist him.

The pair proceeded to embark on a journey by car. Along the way, they made a brief stop for cigarettes, breakfast, and gas. As they continued their trip, they engaged in conversation, expressing their dissatisfaction with the food at the JAA cafeteria and considering the possibility of stealing their pursuers’ car to make some money. Without a particular destination in mind, they simply kept driving. However, the chapter concluded with a sense of unease, hinting that their carefree journey would soon come to an end.
