Departing for Shimane

Perched on Bamora's shoulder, Momo goes unnoticed when Jiji asks whether the girl is visible, since Bamora no longer recalls who she is, leaving Momo scrambling for attention. Jiji warns Seiko the curse is growing stronger, yet Seiko too begins forgetting, gripping her head as she fights to remember both Momo and the plan to restore her size in Shimane. According to Raiya, Unji has gone almost completely blind, and Daiki, unable to walk, now rides on his back. Seiko has Bamora guide Unji while Jiji keeps Momo close, convinced his strong spirit lets him still perceive her; his promise never to forget brings her to tears.

Daiki wonders why Raiya helps him at all, recalling how coldly Raiya treated him when they met. Raiya confesses he had mistaken Daiki for someone causing grief for Unji over the cursed trunk and asks him to drop any bitterness. When Daiki asks what drives such loyalty, Raiya describes how Unji once stepped in against his bullies, noting that Unji's warmth toward friends and eagerness to help drew struggling kids toward him. In one memory, Unji knocks drugs from a girl's grip and asks Raiya to watch over her so she never tries again. She brushes him off, branding herself a failure who disappoints her parents, but Unji admits he has no fix and only tells her to stay clean because she belongs among his friends. To Raiya, Unji earns hero status by forgiving faults, which is why his crew backs him completely.

A news report states that the jailed Juichi, Juhiko, and Jumanieru Kito have disappeared after raiders hit their prison transport. Waiting inside the terminal, the Kito matriarch Naki and her sons shadow Jiji's party, following the jacket Momo dropped during the Daija Town incident to trace her. Naki cannot spot the girl herself, but she stays certain Momo is near and expects a lively flight ahead.

Jiji alone can still see Momo as the curses speed up, blinding Unji and crippling Daiki's legs. Raiya recounts meeting Unji and swears to help the friend who once saved them all. The Kito brothers slip free of custody, and Naki uses the dropped jacket to trace Momo to the airport.
