Mio and Hizuru, who learned of the death of Ushio through a call from Shinpei, head for the rendezvous point designated by Shinpei. Mio went to Shinpei with Sou, but Masahito was waiting for her. On the other hand, "Shinpei" was waiting for Hizuru at the destination...

## Summary

Haine appears in front of Shinpei in the form of a crow and states he must have just returned from a loop, but as she can't feel Ushio presence, she must finally be dead. Haine then copies the young girl Akari and tells Shinpei that while he just came back from the loop, he must be on the edge of the loop and since he is immune, she no longer can take him with her to her home. Shinpei realizes she have been spying on with while she is a crow. Haine then summons some stray shadows. Shinpei realizes she can inherit copied data too, but that would mean she didn't eat all the people at the shrine. Haine states it was his fault as she had to use all her regained power just to chase him. As she prepares to attack, Shinpei puts his hand in the pocket and grabs unconsciously something. Seeing that, Haine stops the shadow and retreats. Shinpei wonders why she left and takes out his hand to see he is holding Ushio's shell necklace. Shinpei calls Hizuru and informs her that Ushio is dead and they need to regroup at the north eastern island of Torajima, which can only be accessed during low tide. However, its a Shadow Shinpei with Masahito who called Hizuru as Shinpei's connection is unstable.

Masahito wonders when Haine copied Shinpei. She tells him to think about it as this isn't part of Ushio's memories and its a hole in their pseudo-loops. Haine tells Masahito she has work for him as Shide. Shinpei returns to Kofune's restaurant, but Alain tells him that Sou and Mio went to meet with him 30 mins ago. He leaves the kids and realizes there is a shadow of him and wonders when they got it. He recalls the times he got copied, but since the loops restarted, he believes they were erased. However, he then realizes that Shiori is Haine and during the early loops, while he was dying Mio told Tetsu she can't copy him, since their Mother copied him already. Shinpei then wonders how they made the call as unless his phone is destroyed, the copied phone shouldn't work. Shinpei hears a voice and checks his room to see shadow Mio pinned to the ground. Shadow Mio shares her memory and Shinpei see that Mio pinned her, since she feared her hacking may be undone since Ushio died. Shinpei explains about his shadow and realizes that his shadow copied his phone during the festival and Shiori absorbed that information at the end. Shinpei receives a call from Hizuru's phone, but its Haine transformed as him. She tells him that they are at Torajima, while Mio is at Alain's garden and he its his choice who he wants to save. Shinpei starts to wonder what to do and decides first to gather all he can use as weapons.

About ten minutes earlier, Mio and Sou go to Alain's garden and they see Masahito there. Masahito then transforms into Shide. At the same time, Hizuru's group is looking at Torajima. Ginjiro wonders if Shinpei is really the one that called them, but Hizuru explains that Ryunosuke can't distinguish human from shadow over the phone, but the call originates from Shinpei's device. With Ushio dead, there is the possibility that Shinpei is dead too and its now a world observed by Haine, however, they still need to kill her. Tokiko can't contact Mio, but Alain said she and Sou went to meet up with Shinpei. Hizuru decides to go alone on the island and asks Ginjiro if he can cover her with his rifle and he states only if she is in the southern part. Hizuru then wants Tokiko to send her shadows and tells Tetsu to do his best to survive.

Ryunosuke then goes to Torajima and sees Shinpei, but feels Haine's presence. Ryunosuke reveals that he knows its Haine and Haine states she promised to kill her 14 years ago. Masahito appears behind her, but Ryunosuke manages to dodge the spear. Ryunosuke figures he must be Shide and he killed Ushio with attack from behind, since he is human. Haine reveals she copied Ryunosuke 14 years ago, but couldn't bear that she ate her friends brother, so she expelled part of her, along with Ryunosuke's data. However, there was a small incident and coordinates in time shifted and Ryunosuke is controlling Hizuru's body from two seconds in the future. Masahito states that Hizuru getting close to Haine, eventually caused her harm and her illness progressed, and she now has months left to live. Masahito explains that Haine's eyes see his shift and relays information to Masahito, which makes Ryunosuke's two second meaningless. He then shows a black ball, stating its mud, a ball of former shadows. The mud reacts to his will and changes its form, turning him into Shide. Ryunosuke notes that Hizuru would call it an armor of corpses. Shide then attacks Ryunosuke, who recalls its what Hizuru told him, Shide will let him dodge and will then aim to kill him as he lands. Knowing that and that Haine would relay his shift, Ryunosuke states he must be fast and blocks Shide's gun with the hammer and then jumps at him and hits him in the head. He then quickly smashes Shide's head again, before he can fall on the ground. However, Shide turns into pieces of mud and moves to another location and reforms as Shide. He notes that Ryunosuke has an amazing moves, but his human body can't keep up forever, and his wounds had opened up. Ryunosuke knows he is running out of time as Hizuru's body won't last much longer. He hopes he can get into Genjiro's sight and use that moment to escape. Hizuru then takes over and states they aren't running away. Ryunosuke gets excited that he and Hizuru are awake at the same time and can talk to her, but she tells him to shut up. Hizuru states they can win, and with Shinpei's status unknown, they are forced to fight or they will die tomorrow. She tells him that he doesn't need to destroy the armor, as the one inside is just a human. She tells Ryunosuke her plan and leaves her body to him, and he is free to break her body and make full use of her.
