Masako decides to leave the Takakuras alone, still not accepting the 'family' they have. As Himari has another conversation with Sanetoshi, Shouma confesses to Ringo that Himari is not actually his blood sister. Years ago, whilst his parents were organising to change the world with their organization, Shouma met the orphaned Himari whilst exploring his condo. Whilst she is initially passive of him, the two grew a friendship over an abandoned kitten they find, up until it ended up being taken away. When Shouma discovered that Himari had headed over to the 'Child Broiler', where unneeded children go to disappear from the world, he rushed over there to rescue her and chose her to become a part of her family. Back in the present, Kamba continues to converse with his parents about what needs to be done to change the world.
Masako, dopo aver tentato di colpire Himari, dice a Shōma che lui, Kanba e la bimba devono smettere di comportarsi come una famiglia felice perché questa è solo una farsa.
冠葉と晶馬が留守の隙に高倉家を訪れた真砂子が、陽毬に《思いだし弾》を放った。駆けつけた冠葉と晶馬が真砂子を退けたが、陽毬は記憶の底に沈んでいた「真実」を思い出しはじめていた。
翌朝、何事もなかったかのように食卓を囲む３人だったが、「晶ちゃんのお味噌汁はお母さんと同じ味がする」という陽毬の何気ない言葉に、冠葉と晶馬は黙り込むのだった。
