Another student is removed from the roster. Saki uses her power outside of class.

The group has rowed past their designated safe areas in search of monsters. What they find is worse than what they originally imagined.

Saki fears the Ethics Committee is somehow altering the memories of her and her classmates. But when Mamoru has a breakdown, Saki is asked to quit looking for answers.

Maria is gone; she has left Saki a letter explaining her decision. Saki is up against terrible odds - the disappearance of her friends, the fact that her memory may be erased again, and the monster rats might not be on the side of the gods after all!

As Niimi stays behind to fulfill Tomiko’s last order, Saki and Sataru head toward the Temple of Purification. When they get there they learn the true extent of Yakomaru’s true plan.

Saki receives a gift from her mother, followed by one final request.
