Synopsis
The wet naked girl collapses onto Kurono who in a sexually aroused state kisses her. Several in the room scold him for that action. Kato notices blood dripping from her wrists and concludes she slit her wrists in the bath. The girl wakes up surrounded by the blushing people in the room and collapses leaving everyone stupefied as Kurono wonders if she thinks she is in a dream. The rough looking yakuza grabs her by an arm, and drags her off to a backroom to rape her, warning others to stay back. All of them are intimidated by the criminal and become hesitant. Kurono reflects on how despite knowing exactly what the Yakuza’s intention is, there is no one in the room willing to help her before noticing a once again trembling Kato (reminiscent of his attitude at the train station) who rushes after them to save her upon hearing her screams despite being warned not to. When the yakuza is heard screaming death threats at Kato, all members (except for Nishi) enter the room to witness Kato (now with a slight nose bleed) pulling the man away from the girl and holding him up against the wall with a chokehold. Then suddenly the Black Sphere starts playing up a theme A New Morning Has Come, A New Morning of Hope, stopping the altercation.
