During a downpour, Tetsu confronts Susumu concerning the whereabouts of Ayumu, though it seems that Susumu could not care less about this. Hijikata ponders if the ronin attack the Shinsengumi out of fear or out of malice. At the okiya, Yamanami and Akesato decide to take a walk outside to mention about Tetsu's depression and Ayumu's absence. Yamanami also tells Akesato that he is lonely without her when they are in their separate residences. Meanwhile, Saya lays Tetsu's head on her lap to comfort him. Elsewhere, Ayumu, acting as a hairdresser, is caught by Masuya for being a watcher sent to gather information on Choushuu clan, wounding his arm with a blade as an attempt to murder him.
