She was under orders from Shimazaki, yet threatened by a shadowy figure who forbade her from pursuing any further inquiries. Meanwhile, Nino received a tape from her parents, and confided in Ric that she must leave the riverbank for Venus, requesting his company. To Ric's astonishment, a chorus of others eagerly volunteered to join their journey. Shimazaki, meanwhile, continued her research on Nino, but felt increasingly constrained by the mysterious warnings.
