Serenade of the Dawn.Paired together, Akito expresses his contempt and dislike of Nanami outrightly, even going as far as to wish that he was the traitor so she could turn him in, be rid of him and get a "nice little pat on the head by The World". This seems very likely as she notices him conversing with a strange man at night that disappears right after. Nanami confronts him, and assures him that they have to be partners to hide the fact that Akito has no special ability. Angry, Akito wishes for Nanami to die, and at that moment she falls off the cliffs but he risks his life to save her. In the end, they are both saved by Kakeru's ability, and punished by a cuff that makes sure they have to stay together at all times, except for brief periods of 30 minutes, within which they don't return to each other's side one of them will be electrocuted. Because of the strain of carrying two people at once Kakeru collapses with a fever and Koharu takes care of him. In the morning, Mikoto and Sakuya go out on land to search for their intruders, and find a flyer about The World promoting the usage of ability-users as war weapons. When evening sets, Kakeru is still sleeping due to being sick. Because of that Nanami and Akito can't have their cuffs removed, and stay together till morning, eventually deciding to break up the pair. When morning arrives and Koharu makes Kakeru some porridge, she finds his ear cuff missing.
