## Summary

Satoru is shot through the leg by Ron, then hears from Tsukasa that he was the one who crushed Hayashi. Feeling his plan is progressing, Tsukasa makes his way to Hiroki. Asking what he wants him to do as Tsukasa is in a state of anguish over why he crushed Hayashi when he told him to run, Tsukasa is also haunted as he is unable to escape the memories of the crushing.

As guards tend to his injury, Katsuragi is reminded that Satoru is Mr. Matasa. Reactivated as a Carrier Pigeon, he shoots the guards and then Ron dead with Jin and Meiling nearby. As they prepare to leave, Jin shoots the memory drive out of Katsuragi's hand and then in the chest. She does not believe that Katsuragi is her father and that Hayashi had just hidden his memories when Satoru tells her that.

Meiling's butterfly transports her to a memory of the younger CEO where he promised Katsuragi that he would never be killed. Opening a box in the scenario, she sees Lianlian discussed with Katsuragi and how he is not allowed to remember their daughter. Within an aboratorium Hayashi states that Lianlian is close to becoming Katsuragi's Peak so if the memories are removed it is likely he will be crushed. Hayashi has another idea, of hiding half his Peak yet consequently that might affect his personality.

Jin's physically sits idle as she views memories of her mother happy to see Katsuragi, whilst Satoru limps away to find Hiroki and Satoru together. One of the guards is still conscious and reports the status of Ron before requesting backup. Jin sees her mother's background with the qigong masters, Hayashi and Katsuragi before exiting the memories to ask that Katsuragi wake up.

Armed Company guards arrive, who prevent Jin from shooting herself in the mouth. One also finds Tsukasa alone in a dazed like state.

Within a harbour town outside of Japan, Hiroki helps Tsukasa to walk as they seek out Carrier Pigeons. It transpires that this is Satoru causing Hiroki to see him as Tsukasa in order to escape the country. Recalling that in the room Tsukasa just wanted to sleep, but could not erase the memory of Hayashi as his Peak giver since he would also be erased. Hiroki questioned whether he could replace Hayashi as Tsukasa's Peak giver in his memory to treat the traumatic nightmares on top of the knowledge that he carried out the crushing.

To achieve this, they entered Tsukasa's Peak and then his Valley, Hiroki enters the keyhole of a decomposing dog which is restored to life in the memory. The memory of Tsukasa overhearing Xiwang being shot was altered by Hiroki to have him recover from the leg injury to achieve this. However this time alarms went off in the woodland area since Tsukasa's Lock was too strong and the more they forced it open, the more messed up his memories became.

With insect and a burning person Loci trying to be balanced, Hiroki then sees that all of Tsukasa memories are beginning to disappear, including the ones of how they met. On the hillside Hiroki remembers that he did not save Tsukasa and accuses Satoru of tricking him.

As they speak the sun rises and they see the physical location from their Peaks in the valley below. Satoru is assured that Hayashi was not wrong, that they can shape their own lives and Hiroki states he has to bring Tsukasa here.

At the manor, the CEO comforts Jin to not blame herself over Ron but Jin replies that Tsukasa is the one who died and that Ron is still here. She states that Ron just went back to being a baby but she will raise him for revenge as she sees Tsukasa before him happy with a puppy.
