A simple hunt for a stolen bag turns into a rooftop chase where Heisuke's clumsy stubbornness stirs old memories in Hyo. When a snap of the sniper rifle saves the very thief they were chasing, Hyo learns his tagalong is far more dangerous than he looks.
Summary
Heisuke tells Shin that his bag is gone and that a friend will help him look. He and Hyo set out and realize a third party has taken it, so they give chase. Heisuke keeps falling behind, and when Hyo shoves him toward the culprit, the thief slips away and draws a knife. Hyo leaps off a car to land a heavy punch, but the runner escapes once more.
Suspecting the man might know something about Uzuki, Hyo keeps after him while Heisuke stumbles along clumsily. Hyo tells him to hang back, yet Heisuke's pride will not let him quit, a stubbornness that stirs Hyo's memories of his own struggles against more gifted rivals. Heisuke finally spots the thief and hurls himself across a wide gap to seize both the man and his bag.
When falling steel bars threaten to crush the thief, Heisuke quickly assembles his sniper rifle and fires to save him. The feat reveals to a surprised Hyo that Heisuke is an assassin too, earning genuine respect. That moment is cut short when Kumanomi turns up and kills the thief by crushing his head, briefly asking who Hyo is before deciding it does not matter.
