Aoba nutzt seine Kräfte, um in Koujakus Gedanken einzutauchen und ihn von den quälenden Fesseln seiner Vergangenheit zu befreien. In dieser Nacht trifft Aoba auf Noiz und erzählt ihm, dass er einen Teil seiner Erinnerungen verloren hat. In der Zwischenzeit schleicht sich ein bedrohlicher Schatten an...

While searching for Ren, Aoba finds Noiz in the living room, tinkering with Ren. Furious, Aoba takes Ren away from Noiz aggressively, causing Noiz to accidentally scratch himself with a screwdriver. Aoba notices the injury and apologizes for hurting Noiz. While treating the wound, Aoba receives another download of "Silent Oath", and Noiz attempts to trace the source to the sender but to no avail. Aoba inquires what Noiz is doing in Platinum Jail, promoting the latter to show the former that he also got an invitation. Later, Ren informs Aoba that Noiz simply removed a worm from his system. The next morning, Aoba apologies for snapping at Noiz, who merely brushes it off, claiming that he only did it on a whim because he thought that Ren was the reason Aoba beat him in Rhyme. Noiz asks Aoba why he is being nice to him, and suspects that is trying to gain something from helping him.

Noiz s’est lui aussi invité à la Platinum Jail, toujours préoccupé par la victoire d’Aoba contre lui en Rhyme. Aoba va malencontreusement découvrir sa particularité, à l’origine de son passé « douloureux » et de son mode de vie voué à l’isolement…
