Report 30: Time Travel Heals All Wounds

Report #30: Time Travel Heals All Wounds is the thirtieth chapter of the Hyper Police manga, and the ninth and final chapter of Volume 4. It was used as basis for the twenty-third episode of the anime: "Sakura Becomes Insane".
==Plot==
Sakura begins firing at Kasumi, but her expert skills allow her to hide from sight. Eventually she succeeds in killing her and time is altered accordingly. 
Back in the present, Natsuki visits Lamp Shinjuku with her friends. She witnesses Sakura's children disappear and becomes alarmed when the others deny the existence of any children. When she mentions Sakunoshin by name, the others are even more confused since they know Sakunoshin is married to Kondo and are awaiting their first child; since Natsuki was at their wedding reception, they don't see how she couldn't have known.
Sakura notices that the Police Company is apparently booming despite having gone bankrupt in her timeline. Investigating, she finds Mr. Mudagami, who is also aware of Sakura. He tries to explain that it is the result of Sakura's change in the timeline, but this goes over Natsuki's head. Samantha Grey steps in and explains that the company is in operation because she bought it from Mudagami in this timeline and, with her skills as the company's accountant, she was able to make it the dominant bounty hunting agency in Tokyo.
Grey starts to explain the problem with the timeline, which Natsuki quickly understands is a result of Sakura's attempt to kill Kasumi having backfired - with Kasumi dead, Sakura's own ancestors were prevented from breeding. Grey interprets it more poetically, with Sakura being akin to Kasumi's reincarnation, prompting Natsuki to track down Sakura's father, who should be able to help her save the two women.
Back in the Warring States Period, Sakura is about to shoot an injured Kasumi, but is prevented from finishing her goal when Natsuki falls through a time vortex and lands on top of her. The two decide to leave to the restored present; Batanen and Tomy look perplexed when Grey complains about having lost a company she (in this timeline) never had.
