## Summary

Gonbee explains that he refuses to cooperate with anyone in the group due to his suspicion of who is going to betray who. Joe grabs Gonbee, who shivers in fear, and protests that he is scared of the group betraying each other but he still can't believe that anyone in the group is a bad person. He says it's what his heart says to trust the group to get through everything. As everyone is silent Joe asks Keiji for the keys to let Gonbee free because in his words "...No one will be safe unless we chain everyone up like you...!!". Keiji turns to Sara and asks what to do, Sara agrees with Joe and tells him to let Gonbee free.

Gonbee leaves saying he won't get in their way as Reko adds that he'll be fine on his own. Joe apologizes as he gets flustered for bursting out, Kai assures him he can't fight the urges of his heart as everyone agrees with the two of them. Reko says that Joe is an interesting guy, calling him Sara's boyfriend. Sara denies that they're together, much to Reko's surprise, as she turns around and notices Sou still being affected by who attacked him. Keiji, Joe, Reko and Q-taro huddle together to discuss finding Gin and Nao. Joe proposes to search the kitchen however Kai disputes this saying it's been locked ever since they were kidnapped, Reko adds to this saying Nao wasn't in any shape to look for the key. Joe then says that they both have to be on the 2nd Floor, however Sara also disputes this saying she and Keiji already searched the 2nd floor. Keiji explains there was one place they didn't search, the hallway past some bars. He says it might be another room similar to the Russian roulette room. Kanna and Sou say that the group can explore without them. Reko is surprised by this and confronts Sara about it, saying that if something bad were to happen to the two of them then Sou wouldn't be able to help them. Kai says that it would be a good idea for him and Joe to stay behind just in case, Joe says he has some energy to burn however Kai convinces him by saying that his heart might be able to break through someones distrust, while looking at Sou. Joe agrees to stay. Sara, Keiji, Q-taro and Reko all go to explore the 2nd floor, as Joe, Kai, Sou and Kanna stay behind in the bar.

As the group explore the 2nd room they find, a bathroom, a spa room, a mirror room. As Q-taro and Reko are exploring the spa room Reko makes a comment asking if this is what the kidnappers idea of hospitality is as Q-taro sweats touching the water. As Keiji, Reko and Sara explore the mirror room Reko confronts Sara asking what's going on with her and Kanna. Sara self deprecates saying that it's her fault for lying to Kanna and that she hates her now. Reko reassures Sara by saying that her and Mishima were only trying to be kind and make Kanna happy, saying that what inspires her to sing and that Sara and Mishima are amazing people. After this Keiji points out that there's a line in the middle of the room separating it, with one side having two mirrors while the other only has one. Sara realizes that the door that they came in and the door to the opposite side of the room both don't have doorknobs, claiming that the solution must me to collect a mirror from the spa room. As they leave the mirror room they see that Q-taro is taking a footbath as he claims that he has to get in the water to explore everything. As Reko is pulling the mirror from the spa room she hits Q-taro into the spa itself.

As they place the mirror on the opposite side of the mirror room, one side starts to move with Gin being tied to the wall, apologizing to Sara.
