The sword and DEAD.Takashi and Saeko acquire an amphibious vehicle to help evade the zombies and set up on a sand bank in the middle of the river. Later, they ditch their vehicle in a park fountain to lure the zombies while Saeko attacks them. However, Saeko freezes when she comes across some zombie children, forcing Takashi to help her. They decide to camp out at a shrine, where Saeko reveals that she almost killed a rapist four years ago yet enjoyed it, saying she has not changed since that day and does not deserve love. Takashi responds by kissing her however. The next morning, as zombies start to surround them, Saeko, hating the sadistic side of herself, gives in and refuses to fight back. Takashi tells her that he has always admired her, giving her the motivation to defeat the zombies with a real sword. Accepting their dark sides, Takashi and Saeko safely arrive at Saya's house.
