The chapter opens with a flashback to the events of the previous chapter. In this scene, we are introduced to a young man named Nemo, who has just returned from a trip to the seashore with his friends. Nemo explains that he has come to see his friends because he has a feeling that something is wrong with them. He wants to know if they are feeling the same way he does. He also wants to find out if there is something different about them that makes them fight so hard. Nemo asks his friends to rest up, but they refuse. He tells them that he is going to kill himself before they let him take Nemo away. He says that the chances of their winning the battle are slim, and that he will surrender himself a moment before they take him away. Nemo tells his friends that he wants to make sure that they are safe, and they agree to go with him. Nemo says that it has been two years since they last saw each other, and he tells them to be careful not to be soft on each other. He reminds them that their biggest threat is Ogami, who was already dead by the time they reached him. They decide to go and save him, and Nemo tells him that he finally got his hands on Nemo's new costume. He asks Nemo if he can call him back later. Nemo has been away at school for a month, and the school has gotten dirty since he stopped coming to school. Nemo reveals that he knows about his new power, but he doesn't tell his friends where he is hiding.
