There is a massive coverup by the military as to the true nature of the teacher’s death at school, and everyone seems fine with it except of course Saya, who witnessed the event. Another discussion between George and David ensues over the fact that George will have to let go of Saya some day, and that it’d be best to do it now. The scene flashes back to George’s past, it goes something like this: George once served in the Vietnam War; was indebted to some guy who saved his life to take care of Saya; had a family (wife and daughter) which was lost in an accident; wanted to commit suicide; but stopped because Saya’s “heartbeat” “told” him to “live on”. George decides to raise Saya as his daughter, and takes in Riku and Kai as well. Life story in a nutshell.
Anyways, the main action of this episode deals with David revealing the nature of those “monster” things called Chiropterans, as well as the nature of “Red Shield”, the organization which seeks to eliminate them. In essence, they need Saya’s “blood” to stop these monsters…All of a sudden a cloaked figure walks into the room, asking for water. Saya hands him a cup, but David realizes that it’s a Chiropteran. David attacks it with an oversized pistol…but it fails to do any good. It’s up to Saya again to save the day of course! But wait! Saya doesn’t want to take action…and instead stands there rooted to the ground in fear/anxiety/panic/any combination of those. Hagi blocks the Chiropteran’s first attack, but it’s George who takes a step in trying to harm the monster. What he gets in return is a nasty gash across his front. It turns out the Chiropteran is actually someone who knows George, and his split personality (the one that recognizes George) kicks in and he runs away. Saya is left to mull over the fact that her inaction got her father seriously injured.
