Flashbacks show how Naoto and Naoya grew to trust Mikuriya. They went back to the research center to see if it really had burned down, and it had. After searching through the building's rubble, Naoto and Naoya find Mikuriya in a cabin close to where the research center was. Naoya found out that the three people who invaded and destroyed the lab have imprisoned Mikuriya to the cabin, and if he was to try and leave he'd be killed on the spot.
