The next morning, Hiroyuki and his men prepare to leave for the air force's base. Hiroyuki tells his men that he's going to send a message to the rebel leaders in the capital, but he doesn't want to tell them what's happening. He tells them that the provisional government is trying to figure out a way to resolve the situation, but that the rebel soldiers have opened fire on the royal guards outside the palace. The royal guards responded with their own forces, and Hiroyuki says that he understands the principles behind the uprising. He's come to pick him up, and they're going to split the rebel forces in two. The message will reach them in a half-hour or so.
