Act.8 opens with the retrieval unit moving out of the school. The group is led by Itami, the leader of the rescue team. He tells the group that they have retrieved the bodies of the three coppelions, and that they can hear the voice of Miss Ibara. He also tells them that the black wings tricked them into believing that they were being attacked by the government's forces, and the air strike was a ruse. He then tells them to keep their eyes on the bus and not to waste time talking about small talk. The other coppins are also back up, and they are waiting for them to come through. They are the ones who put the spike strip around the bus. They also have a picture of the dead girl on their school identifications. It is not clear if the girl is dead or not, but it is clear that she is the girl who died. The men decide that they must go to the station and take care of the other survivors.
