## Synopsis

The chapter starts with a flashback. Nanao kills his father by accident since his power evolved. He can now nullify more than just talents. Nanao doesn't believe it and asks Tsuruoka for an ambulance. Tsuruoka ignores his request since he knows Nanao's father is really dead. Tsuruoka calls Nana to make sure everything is okay. After hanging up, Tsuruoka admits to Nanao that he's the reason Nana tried to kill him. Tsuruoka then makes him go to the research facility so he can brainwash him. Back to the present, Kyouya and Nana look at surveillance cams and see Nanao. Kyouya brings up an explanation of how Nanao could strike Nana without her knowing that he's here. Nana debunks his explanation, and Kyouya asks her why would Nanao try to frame her. Nana is about to reveal the truth the Kyouya.

### Nanao's awakening

The chapter starts with a flashback. Nanao is confused by his father's severe injuries. Tsuruoka explains that talented individuals can sometimes expand their powers. Tsuruoka theorizes that Nanao can nullify processes needed to live, such as breathing or circulation. Nanao can't believe it, but the only explanation Tsuruoka can find for two people suddenly bleeding and collapsing. After a quick check, Tsuruoka knows that Nanao's father is dead.

### Call with Nana

Nanao asks for an ambulance. Tsuruoka ignores him and calls Nana. He asks her what condition she is in. Nana answers: everything is going well. Tsuruoka then asks her if she's in the middle of hunting an enemy of humanity since she's short of breath. In this flashback, Nana is on her way to save Michiru who's about to get killed by Rentarou. Nanao is traumatized and wonders why Tsuruoka is not trying to help his father. He's also wondering what is Tsuruoka talking about with Nana. Tsuruoka tells Nana that people speak highly of her. He hangs up and explains to Nanao that he's the one who ordered Nana to kill him. So Nana had a reason to kill him.

### Truth about Nanao's father

Nanao's father reached this underground facility[the place they're in] and used his connections to see Nanao, his only son. He was harsh to his son because he loved him. Tsuruoka tries to make Nanao feel guilty for his father's death. Nanao refuses to believe that he's responsible for his father's death. Nanao cries and asks Tsuruoka what he is smiling about. Tsuruoka explains it by describing that Nanao is a good guy. Tsuruoka then explains that it's all his fault. He describes himself as skilled in committing evil acts.

Right after, he tells Nanao a way to go to the research facility. Tsuruoka wants to explain to Nanao the reason he saved him there. He's certain Nanao is going.

### Return to Hikaru's death investigation

Kyouya and Nana see Nanao in cameras placed in the hallway. Two hours later, Kiyomi shows up and kills Hikaru. Kyouya has proof that Nanao was hiding in the room across the hall until 9 p.m. . He then struck Nana from behind when she was standing in front of Hikaru's room. Nana explains that there was no way to hide in that hallway. Kyouya doesn't have an explanation for that and asks Nana why Nanao even wants to frame her. Nana hesitates but finally decides that she'll tell him everything.
