He tells Shizuka to turn herself in for a less severe punishment, but she dismisses the idea. Instead, Shizuka asks Azuma to help her get out of the perilous situation.
Azuma was conflicted because, on one hand, he couldn’t overlook a murder, but on the other hand, he was overwhelmed by his feelings for Shizuka. Shizuka’s request affected Azuma’s deepest insecurity, which was being compared to his dependable older brother, so the latter agreed to help her out.
The first thing that the trio did was put Marina’s body inside a Memory Box, after which they buried it in the ground, leaving a small portion outside. The next course of action was to order Takopi to turn into Marina using one of his gadgets. Subsequently, Takopi goes to Marina’s home to take her place. Not long after arriving, Takopi was hit by Marina’s father while her mother was crying.

Azuma’s mother constantly compared him to Junya, which resulted in the former developing severe mental health issues. She would make pancakes but wouldn’t give them to Azuma because he didn’t meet the standards set by Junya. Ultimately, Azuma and Takopi fail in their mission, and they return to Shizuka.
