Kenmochi reveals the old school building was once owned by Takahata Pharmaceuticals, where six experimental subjects died. After Miyuki recovers from an attack, Hajime decodes a message and discovers Chihiro Aoyama’s body in a wall. He gathers everyone to explain how mirrors concealed Sakuragi’s murder, then accuses physics teacher Yuichiro Matoba, the "After-School Magician," of hiding the bodies for 30 years and causing Chihiro’s accidental death 10 years prior. Security officer Ryozo Tachibana, Chihiro’s father, kills Matoba with scissors in revenge. Police recover the six bodies, the building is demolished, and Hajime attends Chihiro’s funeral, meeting her for the first and last time.
