The city is surrounded by sirens as the ambulance vehicle rushes to the hospital as rapidly as possible. Omokage glances at Machi, who laying on the hospital bed, and then at the others.

"How far are we from the hospital?" He asks the two men in the vehicle's passenger seat.

"We're almost there." The male driver responded. The truck is soon engulfed by the sound of Machi's gasps and comes to a halt. They continue on their way to their destination.

Kenji enters into the lab, his loud footsteps echoing throughout the room as he looks for Machi and stops when he notices that she has vanished from where she was when she was tied. His eyes widen as he turns around to find Bisky and another teacher approach him.

"She went to the hospital." Bisky exclaims furiously as he attempts to leave the room but is restrained by the two teachers. "Mr. Sato. Wait."

"You don't understand. She can't be in the hospital." He adds, perspiration building on his forehead as he attempts to leave for the second attempt but is prevented.  "What are you talking about?"

"No! Let go of me!" Kenji yells as the male professor who is holding him hostage restrains him from exiting. He instantly pushes the instructor and looks him in the eyes. "No! It's time for you to explain yourself here." As the male grabs Kenji's arm, the three of them head to the headmaster's office.

"We can't send Machi to a hospital. We have to put her in quarantine." Kenji shows concern as he looks at the principal, who is sitting next to his desk, working on something else and not showing interest to the male. "Hey!" The principal flinches in reaction to the outburst.

"Sit down, Mr. Sato. You've already turned things upside down when you're at school with the story about your son." The principal, Netero, exclaims as he rises from his chair and strides to the opposite side of the room.

"How the hell could you say that? Fuji was the victim!" Kenji yells at Netero, causing him to halt and turn to face him. "And of course, you forced us to bury it." As he settles in the chair, Netero smacks a black folder on the wooden table. "Oh, that's some crack bullshit, huh?" Netero shouts, pointing at Kenji. "You know how the school's evaluation is just around the corner."

Kenji rolls his eyes and sighs as Netero glances at Bisky. "You should've called me before calling an ambulance, Biscuit. What do you think is gonna happen if the police come?"

"Well, I already called the police." Bisky responds calmly to the elder man as he continues. "A teacher should deal with school matters internally. I'll call the police if we need them." Kenji then attempts to leave the room and opens the door, but is prevented by the professor who is gripping his arm and witnesses two male staff members enter into the room, one of whom pauses and glances Kenji in the eyes.

"It's been a while, Mr. Kenji Sato." The man says as he pulls handcuffs from his pocket.

The nurse sighs as she moves next to the bed and glances at it before feeling pain on her arm and pulling her sleeve up to discover blood and a bite mark on her forearm, which concerns her as she recalls Machi biting her. She approaches towards her desk and pulls out a needle, inserting it into her body while she watches it worsen.

"Huh?" She exhales deeply as she drops the syringe and stares in the little mirror, her sclera going blood red, as she gasps and grabs a thermometer to scan herself. As she examines the findings, she notices the relatively low number and becomes even more anxious. She tries hastily snatching a tablet and swallowing it as she feels her nose bleeding and begins retching and snarling as her body thuds on the floor.
