IN AKI'S APARTMENT, POWER

plays with Meowy with a chaotic behavior. She mimicks the cat's meowing in her ruthless grasp, who was just as feisty and as happy as Power was.

Meanwhile,

"We weren't able to find any leads on Kojo Satsuki." Aki's words direct towards his phone while he watches the city from his balcony.

"What a shame." Responds Makima's voice from the other end. "Any leads on Denji's whereabouts?"

"Negative. Special Division 4 is still carrying on the search. I reexaminated the scene at my residence; Denji still isn't here either."

"I see... And what of Himeno? I heard she's been unavailable from her duties recently."

Aki falls silent, trying to come up with an appropriate answer. "Himeno has currently been handling other business matters."

FWOOSH!!!

A hatchet is thrown, traveling across the room at straight flight. It strikes Aki's phone right out of his hand, piercing the screen and pinning the phone against the wall, which quickly malfunctioned.

With immediate retaliation, Aki rushes forward. He leaps away from his balcony, moving past Power's cowering body and sprints towards the door, rushing his needle sword from his waist.
