12화: 세키구치가 베르티고를 읽는 동안 동맹들은 키파를 저지하고 추젠지가 미마사와 카나코의 진실을 밝힌다.

12

Sekiguchi reads a section of his own work, titled "Vertigo", and imagines himself as the story's protagonist. In it, an assassin appears to end the story. In the main storyline, Sekiguchi, Toriguchi, Enokizu, and Yōko arrive in time to stop Kiba from killing Mimasaka. Yōko reveals that Mimasaka is her father, and Enokizu hits the stunned Kiba for his foolishness. Chūzenji also arrives with Masuoka, Aoki, and Fukumoto. Chūzenji begins recounting the series of events, beginning with Yoriko pushing Kanako onto the train tracks, then reporting a perpetrator based on the assassin in Sekiguchi's "Vertigo." Mimasaka could only keep Kanako alive mechanically—a very expensive treatment. Suzaki had been blackmailing Yōko, because he knew that Hiroya Shibata and Yōko conspired to make it look like Kanako was Hiroya's child, but Yōko was already pregnant when they met. Since only Kanako's head remained alive, it would have been easy to stage her kidnapping and demand a ransom from Yōkō Shibata. In the present, Chūzenji confirms that Mimasaka is keeping Kubo's head alive, using the "hospital" as a mechanical human body. (Source: Wikipedia)
