Salvation
The next morning Grandpa Kuroda is reading the newspaper. He sees where the serial mugger was arrested. That fool Hiro was only 19-years-old and now he has extremely limited choices in this society.
At the same time, Yankumi has arrived Kazama Ren’s home. It’s the crack of dawn again. It’s quite amazing for someone who is usually late for school herself. Anyway, she’s too damned cheerful for Ren and he tries to close the door. She doesn’t let him. Instead, she says it’s great they caught the mugger. He agrees. She tells him that Ogata Yamato found the guy. Ren is truly surprised.
Yankumi lapses into teacher mode and tells him to get ready for school or he’ll be late. He honestly can’t believe she’s saying that.
At school, Sawatari is holding an assembly. He announces that the mugger had been caught; however, it is still an embarrassment that a student from3D was suspected in the first place.
Outside, Yankumi is still trying to get Kazama to move faster because they’re late. He doesn’t even attempt to quicken his pace because he’s arrogant and beautiful again. To her surprise, Yamato is sitting outside the gates of the school. She asks him what he’s doing and tells him that he’ll be late.
Ren approaches cautiously and in his own way shows his throat to Ogata. He yields. In his eyes, Ogata has earned the right to be the Akadou leader. “I heard you found the real mugger.”
Yankumi wasn’t expecting that.
Ogata doesn't want Ren's submissiveness. He wants to beat him down. “I didn’t do it for you. Besides, we haven’t settled our score yet.”
Ren is somewhat disgusted. He’s virtually given away leadership. The fight is unnecessary. Yamato has won…or has he?
Yankumi doesn’t let the moment pass. She becomes chipper as hell again and tousles their hair like they’re children. They push her away because they still can’t stand her touching them. They don’t trust her that much.
“The two of you have declared a cease-fire.”
“Ceasefire?” Kazama and Ogata both ask.
Yankumi tries to save herself. “Ah…reconciliation…reconciliation!”
Out of the blue, Ms. Takano races toward them. She tells Yankumi that something terrible is happening. In the gymnasium, the 3D boys are doing their best to get to Sawatari, who is cowering at the back of the stage. Seriously, they want to choke the life out him. It's about time something Yankumi said has sank into their thick heads.
