## Summary

Andy Wachowski requests that Tetsuro unleashes Juzo's power, but instead Juzo runs away. Andy tells his men to discipline him a bit. He also tells Kunugi to also join them and leave Tetsuro's body with him. Tetsuro then stands up, telling Andy to keep quiet or he will unplug his life supporting system on his wheelchair. Andy is surprised as his Harmony is active and he must be in Juzo, however Tetsuro explains he used Harmony to hack his own sub-brain and is not controlling Juzo. Tetsuro takes Andy elsewhere and says they need to negotiate, stating that he only wants one thing: Spitzbergen to stop any terrorist attacks. Andy starts to laugh, wondering what Tetsuro can offer for such demand and Tetsuro states he offers himself and that he will hack and defeat Seven himself. He wants to take down Beruhren, but not using terrorist acts. Andy explains that big group of Spitzbergen wanted Tetsuro dead as punishment for Beruhren or being used as a bargain chip and doubts they will listen to him. He explains that they turned to terrorist because there was no other way as they have taken half the country.

Andy asks Tetsuro if he knows Beruhren final objective. As Tetsuro isn't aware of it, Andy starts to explain that many years ago, Beruhren was formed by a group of directors known as Wurzel, consisting of Strange, Dreamy, Timid and Honest. He worked under them, but in time they ideals changed. The research in order 'to live' became the research 'not to die'. Tetsuro wonders about his father as he is the CEO, but Andy explains only his name is used in public, but he is still working under Honest. After the war, Andy escaped Beruhren and formed Spitzbergen in order to monitor and warn the world about Beruhreh, but as most of the members where victims of extended crime, in time it became a place where people against the government are gathering and distorted its original principle. As it became a terrorist group, he no longer can stop its actions.

Meanwhile, Juzo fights Shimazu, but gets shot in the back. Kunugi reveals himself stating that his needle bullets can trigger points controlling the extends. Juzo states he heard of this technique and Kunugi is reminded of his "incompetent" junior Cronen von Wolf. Shimazu reveals that this is Juzo and Tetsuro is still in his body, but Kunugi explains he guessed that already, but Tetsuro isn't a threat to Andy.

Andy explains that Juzo is the only GSU he was involved directly with every part of his production and he has a setting no other GSU have and destroying Seven will weaken Beruhren. Seeing Andy giving his hand, Tetsuro recalls some of his past, but decides not to shake it unlike before as he can't sacrifice his friends. Seeing there is no point in anymore discussion, Andy reveals he is extended and transforms attacking Tetsuro as he wants to take the Harmony device.
