Ep. 2: Satou assassinates a target while Kei trains and experiments with his IBM

2

Satou alters his appearance as assistants secure flight tickets. Kei and Kou engage in physical conditioning, while Tosaki formulates a strategy to capture Satou. Izumi introduces them to Ikuya Ogura, who tests Kei’s IBM. The device operates contrary to commands and acts on independent impulses, though behavior varies by host. Satou boards a plane with target Kazuo Sakurai, using Okyuama’s IBM to smuggle a bag. He kills the target and guards, then detonates a bomb to force a sea landing. During training, Kei warns Kou against bonding with Ministry troops, suggesting they may be sacrificed, which shocks Kou. Kei later attempts solo experiments with his IBM, discovering it is harder to control than anticipated.
