Ep. 8: Aoba rescues Ren from Noiz, who is brainwashed by Morphine and learns to feel pain.
Aoba aggressively retrieves Ren from Noiz, accidentally injuring the latter with a screwdriver. After apologizing and treating the wound, Aoba receives a Silent Oath download while Noiz fails to trace its source. Ren clarifies that Noiz merely removed a system worm. The next day, Aoba apologizes for his behavior, but Noiz dismisses it, suspecting ulterior motives before leaving to buy food. Aoba follows him, and they are ambushed by Morphine members. Noiz chases a masked man and is brainwashed by a strange song. Aoba uses Scrap to enter Noiz's mind, discovering his traumatic childhood where his parents locked him away. Aoba comforts him, promising to teach him about pain and fulfill his desire for a Rhyme battle. They awaken in the real world, where Noiz can now feel pain, though Aoba senses his other personality growing stronger.
