Keisuke, Miaka, and Tamahome wait for Tetsuya when Keisuke observes Tamahome lacks a shadow. He warns Miaka that Tamahome cannot re-enter the book, and Tamahome soon notices his own lack of reflection. Overhearing them claim he is not real, Tamahome flees. Miaka searches for him but encounters Yui and Suboshi, who chase her away. Meanwhile, Mitsukake sacrifices his life to save a baby and heal wounded soldiers on both sides. Tamahome witnesses a romance film scene, recalling his promise to stay with Miaka.
