6

Mayuko suffers from her mask’s influence, seeing her alter-ego and refusing Yuri’s offer to rest. After a library encounter where Mr. Mask kills a bat-wielding foe, the pair flees, misunderstanding his intent to ally. Flashbacks reveal Rika’s failed attempt to remove the Sniper’s mask and the Sniper’s forced transformation by Yayoi Kusakabe, who serves the Perfect God. Mayuko collapses, believing her alter-ego has taken over, and Yuri praises her friend before being stopped from jumping. A masked dealer diagnoses Mayuko’s condition as hibernation with less than two hours to live, saveable only by a Candidate. He directs Yuri to a mouthless mask to become one. While Yuri departs to find it, she is attacked by a skier Angel. Meanwhile, Kuon secretly saves Mayuko from hibernation, leaving Yuri unaware of the rescue as she continues her mission.
