## Summary

The kids are forced into doing self introductions... However, it appears that the self introductions that Sonozaki wants  them to do requires much more than the usual name and what class they're in. They find out that every wrong answer has a penalty, and painfully learn that they are indeed connected to each other...

## Plot

Noriko assigns the Kiznaivers their first challenge by having each of them introduce themselves. Should they give any incorrect answers, she has Katsuhira strapped and tasered as a penalty, simultaneously giving the others jolts of pain as well.

Met with several spikes of pain from Tenga's bold response, Honoka questions about the end results from sustaining the pain for very long, to which Noriko replies "Dead End". Also by withholding answers every 10 minutes, the same penalty is applied.

As the exits are closed shut behind them, vicious dogs appear to chase a fleeing Tenga, who makes his first correct introduction by stating his fear of dogs, despite his nickname "Mad Dog".

After Honoka clarifies their "self-introductions" as a secret confession, a bomb goes off within the building, prompting her to storm off without confessing. As a countdown signal flashes on their scars while the ceiling collapses, Nico confesses next, stating her belief of fairies is a front for her sophisticated personality.

As she stumbles upon a poster of an obese kid with pearly whites, Yuta's confession comes to light as the group meets his 6th grade self.

As Honoka becomes haunted by a scribbling of Charles de Macking and a girl calling out to her, the others are led outside to Katsuhira inside a crane platform about to drop. While Katsuhira introduces himself as one who's devoid of emotions and pain, Chidori reminds him of his younger days, wishing for the younger him to return back and gives her confession as bottled-up love for Katsuhira.

Never realizing her feelings before, Katsuhira reintroduces himself as a Kiznaiver slowly learning his own feelings, as her confession made him feel "happy".

With the challenge seemingly complete, Honoka boldly announces her own introduction saying that she has killed someone.
