With Kobayashi's poison timed to kill the active and spare the still, Nagumo cracks the rule while Uzuki and Akao find ways to fight without spending an ounce of energy. Their patience buys just enough time for Sakamoto to reappear from the most unexpected direction.
Summary
Kobayashi reminds the group that his poison turns fatal within ten minutes and that he alone carries the cure. Puzzled that only he, Kindaka, and Akao are suffering while Uzuki and the Amo pair stay well, Nagumo rules out sex, weight, and conditioning before deducing that the toxin works fastest on the most active bodies. Uzuki, rattled by his orders to kill Kindaka, realizes his own racing pulse could speed the poison, so he knocks Konomi and Ai out cold to slow their metabolisms and stretch their time.
Akao devises a way to reach Kobayashi without burning energy. She settles into Kindaka's wheelchair, launches it forward with a grenade blast, and lets the kickback of her gun drive her knife toward him while sparing her muscles. Then she halts mid-strike and calmly lights a cigarette. The reason lands an instant later, when Sakamoto's arm punches up through the floor, grabs Kobayashi, and hauls him into the passage beneath them.
Key Events
Nagumo cracks the logic of the poison, tying its speed to physical exertion. Uzuki sedates Konomi and Ai to keep them alive. Akao attacks Kobayashi using the wheelchair and weapon recoil to avoid strain, then steps aside as Sakamoto drags him underground.
