10

Kusakabe reveals Yoshida's interest as Rika prioritizes ally safety and hopes Aikawa avoids Yuri. Learning Rika knows the Sniper, Kusakabe attempts Angel conversion, but Rika self-injures due to host strength limits. The Sniper Mask claims victory over Aikawa before collapsing. During hibernation activation, he instructs Kuon to save him. Aohara warns Yuri about Aikawa targeting Candidates. Kuon updates Yuri and Mayuko, prompting Yuri to visit the Sniper. He questions their connection and notes their shared hat style, calling Yuri strong before sleep. An Aikawa Student Angel observes from afar. Kuon, Mayuko, and her Angel enter the Sniper's dream, meeting young Sniper Mask who urges stopping hibernation. The dream shows the Sniper with young Rika, called Yuka Makoto. Kuon ends hibernation. Suspecting danger, Yuri finds and eliminates a Mask group while the Student Angel watches.
