Long Summary
Mikumo Unit celebrates their victory in the recent Rank Battle at Tamakoma Branch. Their next Rank Battle was to take place 6 days later. Rindō enters, asking for Yūma to help him with something at HQ. Yūma goes with him, and Osamu accompanies them. Hus is in Rindō's car, and it is revealed that he will be interrogated at HQ. Hus displays visible anger, referring to Osamu as a brat. Rindō notes that Hus and Osamu had the flooding strategy in mind in the Rank Battle.

At HQ, Hus refuses to answer any questions, angering Kinuta. Shinoda chides him, asking Yūma to explain how interrogations happened in the Neighborhood. Yūma explains that a single source of information is unreliable, especially if the source was tortured, since they would often give false information just to end the pain. They key to getting accurate information was to find information from multiple sources. Shinoda makes it known that he bore no ill-will against Hus, but informed him of the implications that Moira had planned to murder Enedra from the very beginning, and Hairein had planned to abandon Hus. Kikuchihara notices that the first statement causes his heart rate to alter slightly. He communicates this to Kido via his shared auditory information, and the interrogation is ended. Yūma, Osamu, Kikuchihara, and Kinuta go to the laboratory, where a Black Rad is powered up, to reveal that it has Enedra's persona.
