Early in the morning, Yukino goes to the Shibuya Police Station to see Ranmaru, bringing a book about the Box of Dirge and details on a supposed fragment. Later, Ranmaru visits an elderly man named Taishi, who had contacted him previously. After his attacks fail due to Taishi's mysterious strength, Taishi's symbiont begins to corrupt his mind and body. Sakura and others rescue him, revealing an unknown necklace on his neck. However, the corrupted symbiont uses Taishi to attack Akiha and the group. Ryoko is compelled to shoot Taishi in the chest with her Colt SAA revolver, causing severe injury to stop the assault.
