### Summary
A stunning flashback reveals the true origin of Mikey's "dark impulse," identifying his deceased older brother, Shinichirou Sano, as the original time leaper. It is now understood that Shinichirou's desperate, loving act to save Mikey's life is the very source of the darkness Takemichi has been fighting—a power that may have been gained through murder. This re-frames the entire conflict, drawing a powerful parallel between Takemichi and Shinichirou, both perceived as weak yet possessing a formidable strength fueled by their desire to save a loved one. Takemichi realizes he is not just fighting to save his friend, but to overcome the tragic consequences of a previous time leap.
