◇ Synopsis of Episode 8
The whole truth behind the death of his beloved wife is revealed!
Hayase and Fuyuhashi (played by Nagase Ren) were tracking Ichika's whereabouts. Using location information, they tracked down her home and finally cornered her, but she escaped just before they could catch her.
Fuyuhashi's determination is ignited, and he mobilizes Kiriya (Fujisawa Suzuka) and his fellow "Shelter" members to launch his own encirclement. Hayase also begins to investigate Ichika from a different angle. He visits Hayase Pastry Shop and then goes to see her younger sister, Ayaka (Yuki Yoda).
While Hayase is visiting Ayaka, he receives a call from Ichika. Hayase hears that Ichika has made a decision. However, Fuyuhashi feels a strong sense of unease as Hayase continues to act independently. His goal is supposed to be revenge against Ichika, who murdered his wife, Natsumi (Yamaguchi Sayaka), and then Machi. However, the misunderstanding becomes definitive, and the two finally fall out.
Isolated, Hayase finally locates Ichika through his own investigation. When Hayase and Ichika confront each other, a shocking event occurs.
Behind the scenes, Goroku is quietly plotting his next move. He uses Kaieda (played by Yoshi Sakou) to hatch a plot with the 10 billion yen worth of goods he has recovered. The person Goroku calls is Ichika. What is his aim?
As truth and conspiracy intertwine, each person's intentions begin to move forward into a new phase.
