Synopsis[]
The episode starts with a demonstration of the illumination control system starting up, to start the day. It’s a thankless job, but it’s important to Lux. That’s what the man responsible for the lighting says. The eyes of the citizens changed when the control system did not work for 5 days.
Keigo Oonishi wakes up to find Mana on the disconnected phone, according to her, with the “city”. She says it is not fair that only Oonishi can talk to the city.
Ichise wanders into his father’s old factory, now deserted.
Using binoculars, Kazuho Yoshii sees Doc leave the Class gates in her pickup. Unfortunately the pickup runs out of gas and she is forced to walk back into Lux.
Oonishi meets with Kyosuke Ishii, the head responsible for chopping Ichise’s arm off. Ishii says he does not have Ichise, referring to him as trash.
While wandering the streets, Ichise stops a thug from stealing a few wine bottles. The grateful shopowner feeds him, and explains how he has to pay protection money to Racan.
When he goes on his way again, he sees Ishii’s car drive by. Ishii and his guards get out of the car and go to him. Ishii draws a sword on him, aiming to kill. However, Ichise grabs the sword with the texhnolyzed arm, stabs it into a guard’s thigh, then rains blows on Ishii.
The power it took to grab the sword activated some sort of GPS system at Doc’s lab. She calls Oonishi that Ichise has finally been found.
Ran is also at the scene. She quips that Ichise is a “good boy” by dealing with Ishii. But when Ichise moves on to finish off a bodyguard, backup arrives.
