Shattered Bonds

Summary
Nakiami talks to her acquaintances from the refugee airship, but the rest of her crew wonders if she will leave the ship to join them. At the research laboratory, Reiko Kanba shows Tojiro Kagisu a Hiruko endosymbiont experiment being done on Shidara, but Kagisu storms out in disgust. Ishu reveals to Akiyuki that Nakiami used to cry all the time when she was first aboard the airship. Ishu is told by Zeygand that Nakiami is destined to return to her homeland some day. Haru and Furuichi find Shidara in the streets, but she suddenly changes into a humanform and runs amok, leading Kagisu to detain and kill her himself as a result.
