Naruse explains that the device will keep track of Fukasaku for as long as he's alive. He's worried that the 1st Division is going to capture him and his co-conspirators, but he reassures him that they're not going to kill anyone. They're just going to have to move somewhere else. They can use the opportunity to recover and find out what's going on, he says. He tells Naruse to lie down, rest, and eat some rice balls. He says that he threw a flare at the mitaka team and blew them right in the face the next day. He wonders if he could live out his days here, too, if it would free the kids from the curse of the nation.
