The semi-criminal group holding grudges against Yoshino and Kirishima, along with Azami Suou, had gathered under Ozu’s command. While Kirishima was with Nao, Yoshino spotted Ozu and his group and decided to carry out a plan on her own.

During this time, Kirishima called Yoshino, and the two made a significant "bet."
