After a nonprofit worker witnesses a drunk woman pass out in Shinjuku, she calls for an ambulance and accompanies her to a back-alley clinic.

Toru has an epiphany and asks to take part in Not Alone activities; at St. Magokoro Hospital, Yoko treats a girl who has overdosed on painkillers.

After being saved from her assailant, Yoko explains why she was attacked; she unexpectedly reunites with her mother, much to Toru's surprise.

Mayu's mother's boyfriend comes to St. Magokoro, searching for Mayu; the director tells others he's thinking of having Yoko take over the hospital.
