Summary
At school, everyone gossips about what happened to Rikuya. The Occult Research Club speculates that maybe an extraterrestrial life form abducted Rikuya. Hanna opens the door to the clubroom and finds Mizuha already there.

Mizuha runs to Hanna crying about Rikuya. Hanna comments that Mizuha doesn't usually get emotional about things. Mizuha cries that she saw Rikuya the day before and treated him coldly. She says if she knew something bad was going to happen to him she would've been nicer. Hanna tells her not to blame herself and Mizuha hugs her. Hanna assures her that she'll stay by her side.

Meanwhile, Fushi is sitting in a tree nearby the school and summons Hayase's naginata. He remembers that Hayase's descendants (Hisame and Kahaku) also bore her naginata. Fushi is sure he felt Kahaku die along with his Nokker but realizes the Guardians may still be around and be behind the Mimori incident. Since Funa's Nokker doesn't want to come out and talk to Fushi he decides to he'll go undercover as something small that the Nokkers can't track and follow Funa around. Fushi becomes a mosquito and lands on Funa, who's in a tunnel, however, she promptly crushes him. He begins transforming into something else as a figure approaches Funa. Funa asks the figure what they wanted to talk about and the figure tells her "this" is both a purging and guidance. The figure then stabs Funa through the stomach with a naginata. Fushi transforms back into his regular form and stops the figure who turns out to be Mizuha. Funa bleeds out on the ground as she manages to ask what's happening. Mizuha freaks out and appears to be confused about what's happening but Fushi restrains her demanding answers. Mizuha looks around and tells Fushi she doesn't remember. Fushi realizes there's a Nokker inside Mizuha and tells her that if she's going through something so hard that it makes her want to die, he wants to help her. Mizuha is overjoyed to hear this and hugs Fushi. She tells him she knows how he can help her; to love her.
