Episode 8
The full truth behind his beloved wife’s death is finally revealed!
Hayase (Ryohei Suzuki) and Fuyuhashi (Ren Nagase) are closing in on Ichika (Erika Toda). Using location data, they track her to her home and corner her—only for her to slip away at the last moment.
Fueled by relentless determination, Fuyuhashi mobilizes Kiriya (Ryoka Fujisawa) and the rest of the “Shelter” team to set up a tight perimeter. Meanwhile, Hayase pursues Ichika from another angle, visiting the Hayase Patisserie and reaching out to her younger sister, Ayaka (Yuki Yoda).
While Hayase is with Ayaka, he receives a message from Ichika—and hears a shocking declaration from her. Yet Hayase’s independent actions begin to unsettle Fuyuhashi. After all, his mission is supposed to be simple: avenge his wife, Natsumi (Sayaka Yamaguchi), and bring Ichika, her killer, to justice. Their paths start to diverge, and a critical rift forms between them.
Alone, Hayase finally discovers Ichika’s exact location. When they come face to face, a shocking and unexpected event unfolds.
Meanwhile, Goroku (Yukiya Kitamura) quietly makes his next move. Using Kaieda (Yoshi Sakou), he sets a trap involving the 10-billion-yen worth of goods they had recovered. Then Goroku makes a call—to Ichika. What is he planning?
As truth and conspiracy collide, the hidden motives of each player push the story into an entirely new and dangerous phase.
