Summary[]
Ruby Hoshino was shown giving her testimony on the incident at the police station, whilst Akane Kurokawa helped a forensic team point out things on the site itself. The corpse is confirmed as Gorou Amamiya through the credit card found in the ID holder. Aqua Hoshino silently looks on as the police secure the site of his old body's corpse. Miyako Saitou asks Ruby if she'll be alright for the next day's shoot, to which Ruby says she'll be fine.
Aqua and Akane are talking somewhere else. Aqua apologizes for bringing Akane to Miyazaki and having her witness such a grizzly scene, but she brushes it off. Aqua admits that he was actually hoping for her to find the corpse by dropping hints and in the end, he's actually grateful to her for finding the corpse. He comes clean about having used Akane for his own ends for everything starting from the revenge plot to the discovery of Gorou's corpse.
Akane understands that the guilt of having treated her like this is weighing upon Aqua's conscience and is ready to break up with Aqua. When Akane starts crying, Aqua gets up and pulls her into a kiss whilst saying that now that his revenge is complete and Gorou's corpse is found, it's his turn to protect her.
