As his co-worker, Airi Katagiri, praises Satoru for his life-saving efforts, Satoru is visited by his mother, Sachiko, who reminds him of an incident 18 years ago in which an adult named Jun Shiratori, who Satoru had trusted, was arrested for the kidnapping and murder of some of his classmates.

Looking into the matter, Sachiko deduces that the man was the true killer, but before she can inform Satoru, she is killed in Satoru's home.
