Ep. 6: Kiroranke confesses involvement in assassination while Ogata survives sniper ambush and feverish memories
Kiroranke admits to Asirpa that he and Wilk participated in Emperor Alexander II’s assassination. A Russian sniper suspects Ogata is using a decoy and waits overnight before shooting at an Uilta coffin, only to be killed by Ogata’s counter-ambush. Ogata returns to the group suffering from high fever and cold exposure, hallucinating about his past failure to corrupt his brother Yuusaku Hanazawa before killing him. Shiraishi urges Asirpa to flee, fearing Kiroranke only wants Wilk’s code, but she refuses, demanding answers about her father. Later, Kiroranke leaves Shiraishi behind for safety, though Shiraishi honors his promise to Sugimoto to protect Asirpa and continues with the group. The journey ahead appears ominous as the Uilta reindeer shoulder bone develops more cracks.
