Long Summary[]
Nana was exhausted because she just rushed to the classroom, still in her sleeping clothes. Moguo just arrive and asked what was wrong. Nana was stunned after seeing Koharu sitting with Moe. Kyouya realizes this and tells Nana that Koharu has been here for a long time. Koharu approached them with a curious expression and asked them: "what about me?" Nana declares that when she woke up, Koharu ransacked her room. They all followed Nana to her room. They noted that the entire room was clean. There was no sign of someone breaking into Nana's chamber.
Koharu used this opportunity to expose Nana's suspicious actions to a ton of students. Koharu makes them realize that every time there is a disturbance related to the school, Nana is involved. Nana was angered. People were starting to murmur to each other. Koharu then adds that she was afraid Nana tries to kill her too. Subsequently, Koharu makes fun of Nana by saying she won't kill her, but the enemies of humanity will. Nana was voiceless. She realizes that Koharu might have calculated all of this. Nana tried to bring the class to deal with her. However, it backfired. Nana's reputation has been damaged. Nana, realizing that there was no going back from this point, apologized cheerfully.
A while later, Moe went to Nana's room to tell her that she messed up when she said she was still dreaming. The whole school was talking about Nana after that. Moe says it was awkward. Nana then gets a confirmation from Moe that Koharu was with her all morning. Koharu arrived before Moe. Moe also confirms to Nana that Koharu has never left the room. She was in front of Moe the whole time. Moe is puzzled. She insists on the fact that Koharu couldn't have been in Nana's room. Nana realizes Koharu has the perfect alibi. Moe cheers Nana up and tells her she believes her. Then, with sparkling eyes, Moe proposed that they kill Koharu together. Nana looks at Moe with a discouraged expression on her face. Nana doesn't answer this suggestion. Instead, Nana makes one of her own by saying that they should prepare to move to the mainland.
As Koharu is packing her belongings, Kyouya knocks at her door, accompanied by Fuuko. Kyouya is suspecting that Koharu has a talent that allows her to attack Nana and be in the classroom at the same time. Koharu asks Kyouya if he really sided with Nana. Kyouya states that it's the opposite. He's one of the people who believe Nana is suspicious. He wants to become friends with Koharu. Koharu tells Kyouya that she can't reveal her talent and that she isn't hiding her abilities out of distrust. Koharu has kept her talent secret until now. She declares that she wants to be special.
Kyouya has one last question. He asked Koharu if she was the only one who kept their shoes on when they entered Nana's room the morning. Kyouya says that when he investigated Nana's room, he found tacks on the floor. Kyouya tells Koharu that she has entered with her shoes on because she knew there were tacks on the floor. Kyouya said this confidently, however, this was all a bluff. Koharu's schemes don't get discovered. She claims not to remember. Kyouya apologizes and walks away. Then, Hiyori appears from below their bed. Koharu reminds Hiyori that if her existence gets discovered, people will know what trick they used to attack Nana.
They converse about their talent, saying they're twins that know each other's thoughts. They talk about Nana's apparition. Their goal is to save everyone from Nana without anyone knowing. They don't want anyone's gratitude. Then, they kiss.
Fuuko tells Kyouya that she's surprised he noticed that Koharu entered the room with shoes on. Also, that there were tacks on the floor. Kyouya tells Fuuko lied about everything. Kyouya explains to Fuuko that Koharu has actually taken off her shoes before entering the room. However, someone guilty might agree about this kind of claim. Kyouya adds that with Koharu's answer, he can't tell if Koharu caused Nana to act weird during the morning or not. Fuuko then accompanies Kyouya to his room to help him organize his stuff. The boat is coming next week. It's been two months since Kyouya and Nana got transferred to the island. Fuuko told Kyouya how in such a small span of time, Nanao went missing, then it felt like students were dying every day.
Kyouya tells Fuuko that Nanao was the friend of Nana. He went missing quickly after that. Fuuko notices journals that Kyouya wants to keep with him. Fuuko realizes that this disturbed Kyouya so she apologizes. Kyouya declares that he'll tell Fuuko about his talent of immortality and its weakness.
Nana is praying on the same cliff where she killed a lot of her preys. Koharu walks in and asks Nana what she's praying for. Nana tells her it's for the deceased. Koharu tells Nana the current is so strong around here that if she threw herself from here, her body wouldn't wash ashore. Nana understands what Koharu means. If Koharu pushed Nana, she'd have the perfect alibi. Koharu tells Nana the enemies of humanity don't exist. If they really exist, it's referring to them, the talented. Koharu came to this conclusion because her school life was extremely boring.
As soon as Nana transferred, enemies of humanity incidents kept occurring. Koharu points at Nana and asks her to reveal to her everything she has done. Then, to apologize in front of everyone. Nana says that she doesn't think she will. Koharu tells Nana she'll follow her, and she might even kill her when they return to the mainland. Nana finds this ironic. Someone willing to kill asking a murderer to apologize. Koharu says that she doesn't care about justice. She believes they should live quietly so that ordinary people won't be bothered by their actions.
From this logic, Koharu concludes that disruptive children like Nana should be eliminated. Nana explains to Koharu that Moe might arrive soon and witness Koharu pushing her off the cliff. Nana also says that Koharu's talent might just solve this issue. Koharu says she has just come to see the ocean one last time. They split up.
