Ep. 3: City of Blood
Ayato is hindered in his escape by Fortissimo. The stalker, now recognized as Haruka Shitou, is held safe by the RahXephon, but Reika stands on its shoulder as it is hit by an energy blast. The RahXephon crushes Fortissimo to pieces and then reaches outside the barrier of the Tokyo Jupiter. After gathering some food, Ayato and Haruka take shelter in a fishing boat for the night. Haruka reveals the truth about the world to Ayato, mentioning that he has time lapsed for twelve years. The following day, Ayato goes off on his own and receives a call via payphone from his real mother, telling him to not be compelled by the Mulian society. Haruka finds him to tell him that the barrier separates the city from the outside. Haruka later sets the boat on fire to signal contact with the TERRA Organization. (Source: Wikipedia)
