## Summary

Paraphrase this, make it more understandable:
While putting a huge whole in the door, Luke shouted they'd stop what they're doing surprising both Rita and Doug who's currently in the heat of confessions. The old woman then reprimanded Luke afterwards for putting a huge hole in her shop's door and would charge the Kindergarten for repairs. As the teachers left the Minejima Shop alongside with Natsuki and Haruo, its currently raining. Doug, who was almost in his confession is currently having his heart thumping fast, Rita who's also heart's thumping fast thinking that what had happened with her and Doug was a dream, both Natsuki and Hana are also feeling their chest thumping fast thinking it was cold. While assessing the situation, Luke have come up with an explanation of what currently is happening with the four of them, and theres Natsuki who had just added to the relationship chart of the Dandelion teachers' trio, a new development beyond his radar which he found nice.

Natsuki and Haruo said their goodbyes to the teachers, planning to return to Kindergarten Noir, hoping they'd cross paths again someday. They left on foot, observing the widespread destruction around them. Natsuki aimed to flee to Tokyo promptly before the New World Order could send someone after them. Before departing, they visited their former shop to gather only necessary items.

In a parking lot passageway, the brothers discussed their plans after leaving Tokyo. Natsuki expressed his intention to work part-time, considering jobs at convenience stores, family restaurants, construction sites, or anywhere else available. Haruo got excited envisioning Natsuki in various outfits for these jobs. Natsuki emphasized their desire to undertake work that would help people, no matter how small the role, aiming for an ordinary life to make amends, much like the teachers at Kindergarten Noir.

While discussing their plans, Haruo suddenly received a shot to his heart, and Natsuki was hit on the head by a Flail Morningstar Weapon, though he managed to rise and rush to his brother, who had been shot in the heart. The attackers were Leo, Rita's twin brother, and Ashley. Leo confronted Natsuki, questioning why he spared the teachers despite having ample chances to kill them, while questioning Natsuki's belief in living happily after such actions. Initially mistaking Leo's face for Rita's, Natsuki asked who Leo was, to which Leo replied cryptically, identifying himself as a killer akin to Natsuki. Leo fired multiple shots at Natsuki, challenging his efforts to protect Haruo, despite Haruo's grave condition, suggesting Haruo might not survive.

Leo asserted that no matter where they go, they'd always be viewed as murderers, denying the possibility of happiness for them. He proposed that Natsuki work under them instead, citing his strength, and hinted at the harshness of working with them. In response, Natsuki grabbed his scoops and attacked Leo, narrowly missing him with the strike. Natsuki expressed that there was no purpose in surviving alone, having taken numerous lives and being ready to face death, finding solace in a world he considered hell.

In a tense moment, Leo shot Natsuki directly in the heart. The loud noises of rain pouring from the sky, leaves rustling, and water splashing on the ground were drowned out by the bang of the gunshot. Leo and Ashley departed from the area in the rain, with Leo singing "lala lala."

As the school bus departed from Asakusa heading back to the Kindergarten, Rita held onto hope for a reunion with the brothers. Meanwhile, a scene was depicted of the brothers lying lifeless on the ground amidst the pouring rain in Asakusa.
