Having been fully healed by Chiyu, Nomi makes short work of Takumu and defeats him in horrific fashion. As Haru is overcome with anger, he is overcome by a dark power urging him to destroy Nomi, displaying a similar power to Dusk Taker, though the timer ends the battle before it can escalate any further. Upon returning to the real world, Haru and Takumu confront Chiyu, who claims she has joined up with Nomi of her own will. Believing there is something more to this, Haru tells Takumu about the incarnate system, suggesting they should find a way for him to learn it before facing Nomi again. As Haru grows fearful of the dark power inside him, he calls up Kuroyukihime for a little bit. As Haru and Takumu believe they may be able to learn something about the incarnate system from Yuniko, Scarlet Rain. Haru finds himself under suspicion over the camera found in the girl's shower room.
