Ep. 6: Seizaki plots kidnapping Itsuki while Nomaru uses a boy to sway the debate

6

With no evidence linking Itsuki to suicides, Seizaki dissolves the investigation team. Ryuichiro Nomaru feels confident about the upcoming debate and election, but Seizaki reveals his plan to kidnap Itsuki, recruiting his former team members as accomplices. During the televised debate, opponents of the suicide law speak first. Itsuki presents his argument, but Nomaru introduces a young boy whose father intends to commit suicide and supports him as an election candidate, successfully shifting public opinion against the law. In a surprising turn, Itsuki unmasks the boy, revealing that he is actually his own son, Taiyo. This revelation challenges the narrative Nomaru had constructed and alters the dynamics of the public discourse surrounding the controversial legislation.
