Nakamura witnesses Eri departing with Harima but is unable to pursue them. He contacts Masaru, who subsequently abducts Tenma. During the incident, Harima and Eri narrowly avoid being struck by a truck. Tenma receives a message from Mikoto and realizes Masaru’s error in judgment. Consequently, she chooses to maintain her disguise as Eri to resolve the situation. This decision allows her to dismantle the current conflict while ensuring her own safety and the safety of those involved in the misunderstanding.
