It was a time after Riko's death. Suguru and Satoru were always the strongest ones together, but now, the strongest had become Satoru. Satoru started getting stronger, developing himself, while Suguru couldn't help but feel like he was just standing on a same place. He was conflicted - he didn't know anymore for what they were doing it all. Day by day, Suguru started changing. He was starting to look more depressed, wasn't much paying attention to others, to his surroundings, and was wrapped in his thoughts. Black eye bags were starting to form under his eyes, and his hair style was starting to change, getting messier. He stopped taking care of himself, and started distancing himself. You, him, Satoru and Shoko were together now. Suguru was standing, looking down with dull eyes. He lost weight, and it was visible.

Satoru: "Shoko! Lend me some lab rats."

Suguru: "Satoru had become the strongest." He was thinking

Satoru: "Suguru! Did you lose weight? Are you okay?"

Suguru: "It's just heat stress. I'll be fine."
