After the first scene finished the video switched to Chiakis classmates reacting to it. Once that scene played out the video cut to Chiakis funeral. Finally the video switched to the ultimate despairs and all of their actions. Chiaki would have fainted had mikan not injected adrenaline into her IV bag. "This is the best part" mikan said as the video switched to a security camera in the room her comatose body was kept. Hajime appeared on screen with a rose and everything became increasingly worse after that. Through out all of it chiaki couldn't hold back her tears.
Once Hajime realized where chiaki was he and Komaeda rushed to the abandoned city. Akane was tasked to retrieve the other despairs in case mikan became hostile. Little did they know the castle was going to be attacked by makotos army. p By the time Akane reached the castle the army had already struck from all sides. Everyone put up a strong fight, but one by one they all fell. Peko however managed to escape as ordered by her master. She took one last glimpse at fuyuhiko in shackles before running off to find Komaeda and Hajime. p One by one the ultimate despairs were rounded up and held at gun point. Makoto and kirigiri searched the castle but found no trace of chiaki. Kirigiri managed to find mikans report and from there she was able to confirm chiaki had been here. Once she showed the report to makoto she decided to go interrogate the ultimate despairs. p "Where is chiaki nanami?" Kirigiri asked. "We think Mikan killed her" ibuki blurted out. "Idiot, we don't know that for sure that's why we were conducting a search" Hiyoko said. "Start from the beginning" Kyoko asked. After Sonia explained everything that happened kirigiri made continued her interrogation. "Can you confirm whether or not Chiakis dead" kirigiri asked. "We honestly don't know" Souda said "that's why we need to find mikan". "Thank you for your cooperation" kirigiri said before leaving. Makoto waited anxiously outside until kirigiri came. "What did you find out?" Makoto asked. "A good amount of information, but they don't know about her current location or condition" kirigiri said. "I just hope she's okay" Makoto said. "She's a strong girl" kirigiri reassured "after all you raised her".
In the abandoned city Hajime and Komaeda swiftly rushed to the hospital. On the outside it looked abandoned, but some digging on the inside revealed a secret bomb shelter like area. "It's locked" Komaeda said as he tugged at the steal trap door. "Here I know the code" Hajime said before typing in the code and unlocking the door. "Are you ready?" Komaeda asked. "Of course" Hajime said.
When the door opened it made a sound that alerted mikan to their presence. Mikan retaliated by locking the door behind her and preparing her tools. By the time Komaeda and Hajime reached mikan, she was well prepared. "Mikan what the hell are you doing" Komaeda said. "I'm just doing what my beloved would want" mikan giggled. "There's no reasoning with her she's too loyal to Junko" Hajime said. "THATS JUNKO ENOSHIMA AND YOU ARE UNWORTHY TO SAY HER NAME!" Mikan yelled. "Calm down we just came for chiaki" Komaeda said "just let her go and will leave". "Oh I'm sorry but I can't do that" Mikan said "not when I'm so close". "What are you talking about" Hajime asked nervously. "Didn't you ever realize the reason Junko kept chiaki alive" mikan said "it was so chiaki could one day become the next ultimate ultimate despair". Hajime and Komaeda looked in horror as mikan started to laugh. Finally Hajime lunged forward and pinned mikan against the wall. She retaliated by stabbing him with a scalpel. Komaeda grabbed a nearby vaccine and ran it straight into mikans blood stream. Luckily the liquid inside was just a sedative and not fatal. "You're too late" mikan managed to say before she passed out. Hajime than opened the door. Turns out the lock on the door was broken.
Inside the only light was the tv screen. Chiaki laid completely still breathing lightly. "She's In psychogenic shock" Komaeda said after he checked for a heart beat. "Can you give her your coat" Hajime asked to which Komaeda obliged "if we get her back to the castle we can stabilize her condition". While Komaeda untied chiaki from the bed, Hajime looked for some blankets and supplies.
"How is her condition" Hajime asked once he gathered the supplies. "Her blood pressure seems to be going back to normal" Komaeda said "I suggest we keep the IV in and the bag attached". Hajime agreed before wrapping chiaki in blankets. "Let's go" Hajime said after he lifted chiaki up and carried her in his arms.
Outside it was starting to snow. Slowly Hajime and Komaeda walked back until peko came into their vision. "What's wrong" Komaeda asked. Peko took her sword and used it to write in the snow. "Castle attacked everyone captured" Komaeda read out loud. "Who attacked us" Hajime asked. Peko wrote "Makoto Naegi". "Do you know what they want?" Komaeda asked. "Chiaki nanami" peko wrote.
