A year later in August 2007, Satoru makes even more strides with his ability and stands alone as the strongest sorcerer. As Suguru is isolated, she  finds herself struggling with the constant cycle of exorcism and consumption as well as understanding what his purpose is as a sorcerer. She  can't help but stray from her duty as a jujutsu sorcerer by thinking of non-sorcerers as lesser humans. She doesn't want to lose her way, but Suguru can't come to terms with fighting for people like the children of the star.

While trying to clear her  head with fellow student Yu Haibara, they're visited by special grade sorcerer, Yuki Tsukumo. Yu leaves as Yuki talks to Suguru about how she wants to go about getting rid of curses completely. While Jujutsu High wants to fight the symptoms, Yuki desires to kill the root cause. Non-sorcerers leak cursed energy at a much higher rate than sorcerers, so she wants to educate them on how to use jujutsu or find a way to eliminate cursed energy from their bodies. However, Toji Zenin is the only case in the world Yuki found where someone had no cursed energy at all. In a moment of realization, Suguru asks why they don't just kill every non-sorcerer.

"I don't like monkeys. That's the truth I chose."

Yuki claims she isn't that crazy and tells Suguru he needs to decide what her  true feelings are. She must pick between looking down on non-sorcerers and following his duty as a sorcerer. Yuki leaves shortly after and reveals that Master Tengen has stabilized despite Riko's death.

Yu Haibara dies while out on a mission with Kento Nanami, furthering the darkness in Suguru's mind. She compares being a sorcerer to running a marathon, but the finish line is nothing but a hill of his fellow sorcerers corpses. While out on a mission to stop a curse haunting a village, Suguru exorcises the curse but finds two little girl sorcerers being kept in a cage and blamed for the curse's actions. Reaching the breaking point, Suguru murders all one hundred and twelve villagers, frees the girls, and makes his decision to become a curse user.

Satoru assures young Megumi that she'll take care of everything.

Satoru and Yaga are both disheartened by the news. Suguru is confronted by Satoru in Shinjuku and explains that she wants to create a world without curses by eliminating non-sorcerers without exception, even killing her  own parents. Satoru repeats Suguru's notion about pointless killing without a purpose but Suguru argues that there is a reason. Satoru claims the sentiment is impossible but Suguru knows its possible because Satoru himself could do it. She  walks off but Satoru can't bring himself to kill his best friend.

While Suguru takes over the remnants of the Time Vessel Association, Satoru tracks down Toji's young son Megumi. He finds the first grader walking home and tells her  a story about her father to inform her  about his situation with the Zenin Family. In order to make sure Megumi grows up to be a fine sorcerer unlike his father or Suguru, Satoru takes him under his wing and promises to take care of everything.
