Himokura follows Takaie back to Aibanemura. Takaie reunites with his childhood friend, Tanahashi, and his crush, Misono. They’re having good time catching up until the reality catches up to them. Takaie finds that the hospitals are overcrowded because there’s only one doctor covering for Dr. Yoko’s absence. He puts on a lab coat and starts helping out. Himokura gets approached by Fukuyama to join the BSL4 research team, and Himokura must make this decision quickly. Meanwhile, Makino is sent to Aibanemura also to investigate the BSL4 site and expose the corruption in Ministry of Labor.
