Yamagami and Kurusu reflect on their new vampiric lives as it sinks in that they are now legally dead. Meanwhile, the army brass pressure Maeda and Nakajima for results, aiming to cut funding for Code Zero.

While Maeda convalesces, officials move to disband Code Zero and replace them with a force of British vampires. With less than a month until the deadline, Code Zero tracks the barrels of Ascra to Yokohama.

Defrott appears before Maeda as he lies injured in the rubble. The sight of Maeda prompts Defrott to reflect on the time he spent with Misaki. What events led up to her death, and how did she become a vampire?

Maeda appears before Defrott and Aoi in Rufus's trap on Tsukishima Island. With Aoi losing blood fast, Kurusu will have to cross Tokyo in broad daylight if her hopes to reach her in time. Meanwhile, Ltg. Nakajima receives an unexpected summons.

The remaining vampire units gather as Kurusu and Maeda face off in front of Tokyo Station. Does Kurusu have the strength, or the will, to overcome his former leader? And how will Aoi react to the outcome?
