In this chapter, Hiro wishes he could go back to his normal self. He wonders if he would be able to change the world if only he had the power to do so. He tells us that the military has cleared out of the city, and that there is no way that the government can stop it. He says that he has already given the order to withdraw, and he wonders why there are so many civilians in the city. He asks if they can print the live home mail that is being streamed on the web, and wonders if it is a human toll. He then tells us about how he used his power to separate the heart of hirose from that of yukie, and how mitama's frag is dead. He also tells us how he always wanted to destroy everything in his path. He concludes that he must eliminate the threat at any cost.
