Perfect Mother Tanigaki abandons his mission to kill Sugimoto and capture Asirpa. Instead he visits the heavily pregnant Inkarmat, planning to escape with her. He is caught by Tsukishima but Doctor Ienaga injects him with a sedative so that they can escape, however Tsukishima shoots her before he collapses. Koito allows the couple to escape but Tsukishima recovers enough to fire a shot, hitting Tanigaki as he rides off with Inkarmat. They reach Huci's cottage on foot, but Tsukishima catches up with them, followed by Koito, who stops Tsukishima from killing Tanigaki. Inkarmat starts giving birth so everything is paused so that Huci can deliver the baby. A baby girl is born, and Koito convinces Tsukishima to let the couple leave with the baby. He convinces Tsukishima of his loyalty to Tsurumi even though he still does not know what his commander's ultimate objective is.
