## Summary

Sawazaki takes Jill to his apartment where she'll be staying while she's under probation. He gives her a tour and shows her room. She is touched that he cleaned the apartment for her so that his smell is faint. He must have known she has a keen sense of smell.

It's late, so Jill joins him as he goes to the convenience store for some food. He tells her she can stop living there whenever she wants. He understands it might be weird living with an older guy. Jill gets flustered thinking he might have a crush on her, but everything he says comes out platonic, so she's sure she's imagining it.

Jill sees the moon and quotes a famous Japanese author and Sawazaki quotes another famous Japanese writer and translator, but even though the words are romantic, their conversation remains rather light. Sawazaki also thinks that Jill may have a crush on him, but since she doesn't confess it, he dismisses it. He can't help but notice her beauty in the moonlight.

Narumi can also be very mature and level-headed, as she can handle stressful situations nicely despite feeling vexed inside. In some situations, like when Nakamura almost attacked her when he transformed into a devil, she didn't get scared or angry at all, she was just shocked and sad how he struggled so much. Despite Nakamura being a devil, she easily accepted him and cares about him deeply.

## Story

In 2012, Narumi greeted her co-workers, Tamiya, and Yousuke Asami. Judging from Nakamura's reactions and how he couldn't even look her in the eyes, it was obvious that he has a crush on Narumi.

She tried talking to him, but he lost control and slammed her against a wall. He got himself to resist doing anything more and as he apologized, he ran off. When Nakamura walked down the tracks and saw the lights of an oncoming train, he accepted his fate. But just before the train hit, Narumi pushed him out of the way, and the both of them were soon rescued by Yuuki Anzai who had grabbed them and jumped to a telephone pole. Due to the shock, Narumi lost consciousness but when she came to, she appeared to be very relieved and happy to see Nakamura safe.

However, Narumi also has special feelings for him, as she worries and cares for him deeply, as she almost risked her life by saving him. She wasn't worried about herself, she was just happy that he was okay. She wasn't angry or even scared of him being a devil and when he attacked her, she quickly accepted everything and became very supportive of him. The only thing she did care about was the burden he was carrying.

Anzai contacts Sawazaki to tell him and Jill what's happened. Sawazaki tells him their theory about thermography and how it can measure surface temperatures. Since it doesn't work through windows, Zero Seven fires again to shatter the glass. Shards are sent flying and Tsukasa moves to protect Anzai. In her struggle, one of the shards tears through her face. Zero Seven switches scopes and waits for Anzai to get into view.

Zero Seven takes out her rifle and shoots Anzai through the chest.

Back in Zero Seven's flashback, Morisawa drinks from Sayuri's corpse. Nanako sneaks up behind and takes the gun from his pants. She shoots him dead.

A stranger who has been watching the fight grabs Anzai by the leg and pulls him up. He introduces himself as Hans Lee, a half-devil, half-human. He tells him the bullet went through his lungs and he's dying. So, he opens a bottle of human blood and feeds it to Anzai to fix the damage.

Yuichi Utsumi

**Yuichi Utsumi** (内海 佑一, *Utsumi Yūichi*?) is a cameraman who works at a video production company stream and is in charge of weather forecast relay. During a live weather-broadcast, his human reporter co-worker Yuriko Hyuga, was stabbed by Ren Murakami. Upon seeing her blood, Utsumi transformed and uncontrollably started to suck her blood. This incident was the first stage of the "Ikebukuro Incident".

## Appearance

Utsumi is an adult man with a pale complexion and dark circles under his eyes due to being an initial non-blood-drinking devil. He has very short, slightly spiked brown hair and small pupils with light-brown eyes. He also appeared to wear a beanie and a jacket.

## Personality

He was seen being happy with his job, and appeared to work well with Yuriko Hyuga before the incident. Like most other devils, however, he lost control of himself when seeing blood and started sucking Yuriko's blood.

## Story

On a snowy evening, Utsumi along with his co-workers, including Yuriko Hyuga, were holding a live-weather broadcast. Just before the end of the broadcast, Ren Murakami rushed to Yuriko and sliced her throat with a kitchen knife. Seeing blood, Utsumi transformed and attacked Yuriko and drank her blood as the camera rolled on. He drank so much that Yuriko was about to die, but Johannes Kleeman interfered by knocking him out and later proceeded to ask people to call for medical attention to both Utsumi and Yuriko.

During the incident, the crowd and all of those watching at home were witnessing proof that devils really exist. This incident came to be known as the "Ikebukuro Incident", staged by the CCC for the purpose of making people aware that devils really do exist and to increase anti-devils protest. A live-weather broadcast was the perfect opportunity to trigger devils across Tokyo to transform and therefore make humans open their eyes.

Following the incident, Utsumi was arrested for bloodsucking.

Yuzuru Kikuhara

v •  e

**Yuzuru Kikuhara** (菊原 結弦, *Kikuhara Yuzuru*?) is the mother of Kirio Kikuhara who was a neglectful mother to Kirio, but when he became a young adult, Yuzuru became attracted to him. Kirio felt trapped by her "motherly love" and pushed her off a veranda one morning, killing her.

## Appearance

Yuzuru was an adult woman with light-colored straight hair initially worn longer (but later in a shoulder-length style with long bangs covering her forehead and framing her face) and she had big dark-colored eyes.

## Personality

According to Kirio, Yuzuru was not a good mother and hated children. She totally ignored him and couldn't stand to take care of him when he fell sick, so whenever something happened to him, she would entrust her housekeepers to take care of him. The only thing that was on her mind was work which kept her busy for most of the time, and romance of hopes of finding a new partner. Yuzuru also seemed to not be very physically affectionate, as Kirio claims that she hated hugging and never hugged him. Her showing "love" to her son for the first time in fifteen years was solely because she found him attractive.

## History

At some point, Yuzuru had a son named Kirio Kikuhara with an unknown man. However, both of them did not seem to have a relationship with Kirio's father as Yuzuru and her son were only seen to live alone together. However, Yuzuru did not share a good relationship with her son either, and as Kirio claimed, they were connected by blood, but not their hearts. Yuzuru neglected Kirio and got three housekeepers who would come in shifts to take of him. She also didn't attend any of his school entrance ceremonies or graduations, since she was busy with work and romance.

   All of this continued until Kirio became a sophomore in high school. For the first time in fifteen years, Yuzuru praised Kirio by saying that he was more handsome than any other man, as she had begun finding him attractive. Although this appeared to be "love" Yuzuru displayed towards Kirio, he was guilty of feeling happy at her praise, as she had not even once showed any interest in him prior. Yuzuru's "motherly love" made Kirio feel trapped. One morning after they'd slept together, Kirio saw his Yuzuru on the balcony and proceeded to push her off; which broke her neck and resulted in her death.

## Legacy

Despite that Yuzuru's own son killed her, he was not a bit guilty and felt free from her "curse". He also remained unaffected by this murder for unexplained reasons, as he went on to excel in life and make a good career. This indicates that he must've have hidden the fact that he was the one killed her. Even after her death, Kirio holds very little respect for Yuzuru and does not refer her as his "mother", only by her given name Yuzuru. Kirio blames Yuzuru for growing up in such a bad environment.

## Etymology

* The name **Yuzuru** means "tie bind" (結) (**yu**) and "string, bowstring, handle" (弦) (**zuru**).
* Yuzuru's surname **Kikuhara** means "chrysanthemum" (菊) (**kiku**) and "field, plain" (原) (**hara**).
