Akira availing his metempsychosis through a bird to explain what happened to his team along with Oboro watching over Fujiko and Dr. Sakaki as they combine energies to repair the damage done to Ichirou's mind establishes the ambiance as Kaoru continues to be in seventh heaven with Kouichi (Minamoto in his child state) while Yuri regroups to compute her next move. The P.A.N.D.R.A.-polluted school day proceeds along without incident although the lunchtime ambiance hints that P.A.N.D.R.A.'s control is starting to weaken. Kouichi asserting himself when Kaoru and her teammates attempt to feed him prompts a sequence of the adult Minamoto telling Kouichi to reject this phantasm even as Kyousuke offers to expend his life energy reformatting the circumstances. Shiho's appraisal and collaborative congratulations for the successful bootstrapping ignites a fit of hysterical ambivalence that sends Kouichi racing to meet Kyousuke and rouses Yuri into commencing her true mission: exterminating Kaoru so that she cannot wield the Collaborative Deluge against Black Phantom. Upon detecting Black Phantom's machinations, Taizou calls B.A.B.E.L. to arms but finds P.A.N.D.R.A. inhibiting their advance so that Kyousuke can hypnotically subjugate Kouichi. Naomi arrives on the scene to capitalize upon Yuri's reluctance about her mission and exhort Kaoru's intercession before collapsing in exhaustion. Kaoru's collaborative remonstration with Shiho and Aoi instigates Yuri to take Kouichi hostage -- a futile gesture that is as dust before a maelstrom to a constructive and altruistic relationship as is evidenced in the epilogue of Kaoru, Shiho, and Aoi's affirmation for Kouichi Minamoto's guardianship.
