Commander Kunikida captures Aoi to lure the Coppelions into a trap. Ibara and Oyakata attempt a rescue at a park, but Ibara is beaten after hesitating to shoot Kunikida. Haruto arrives on his AMV to save Ibara, leaving Aoi behind. Using a transmitter, they track the Ghosts to a water treatment plant. While Gennai and Oyakata create a distraction, Ibara and Haruto move in. Ibara is shocked to learn the Cleanup Crew was trained to kill, a method she opposes. She is captured by Kunikida, who reveals his troops have mutated to survive radiation. Despite Ibara’s offer to help, Kunikida orders a tank to fire. Aoi escapes, and the group finds Ibara severely injured.
