"Did you see his eyes? He's trouble when he's got that look in his eyes. About three years ago, he hit a kid who stood up to us. Hard. Put him in the hospital. He had that look in his eyes then. I do believe he could kill someone."

—Sojiro and Akira

Plot

Tsukasa Domyoji is in shock after seeing a video of Tsukushi Makino and Rui Hanazawa. Yuriko Asai then tries to seduce him by making Tsukushi look like a gold digger. When she touches him, Tsukasa slaps her. Sojiro Nishikado and Akira Mimasaka attempt to diffuse the situation. However, a glassy look comes over his eyes as he claims he has been made to look like a "fool." Sojiro tries to convince him to "forget" about it, which does not work. The two then watch him walk off.

Seconds later, Tsukasa approaches a group of laughing Eitoku Academy students and threatens one of them, crushing his glasses. Meanwhile, Tsukushi and Rui are at the emergency exit when Shizuka Todo calls up to Rui. She then walks up the stairs to ask him to accompany her to a photo shoot. Seeing Tsukushi there, she invites her to her birthday party. Tsukushi hesitates, afraid that it might turn out like Yuriko's party. Shizuka assures her that she will not invite any of her classmates.

Tsukushi later hears a loud noise and sees a group of running students. She suspects Kazuya Aoike is being bullied again, but sees Tsukasa torturing someone else. Akira and Sojiro plead with him to stop, but Tsukasa has "snapped" and continues his reign of terror. Tsukushi leaves school with Kazuya. She realizes she has forgotten her notes and returns to the emergency exit. There she finds Tsukasa. Sensing something is off, she tries to hurry away but Tsukasa stops her, saying "You sure made a fool of me."

Notes

• Rui saying "Was that when you were reading fables about kings?" is a reference to chapter one. Tsukushi uses the emergency exit to yell her frustrations similar to King Midas' barber in the fable.
• Sojiro mentions that Tsukasa nearly killed someone during middle school. It is possible that this person is Junpei Oribe's friend who is mentioned in chapters ninety-two and ninety-five.
