Hiyakawa can't understand what Mikado is feeling. And for his part, while Mikado recognizes how deviant Hiyakawa is, he just can't cut ties with him.
In the middle of all this, Mikado is as good as kidnapped by Sakaki and taken to Erika in a car. Erika asks a bewildered Mikado for help with her homework, as though the situation were quite normal. As Erika works on her homework, she tells Mikado about the mysterious man who employs her and about how her powers awakened.
I thought I'd never find 
a place I felt safe, so...
لم يخطر لي أن أجد مكاناً
...أشعر فيه بالأمان، لذا
Ich dachte einfach nicht, dass es
so was wie einen sicheren Ort gäbe …
Nunca creí que encontraría
un lugar donde estar en paz.
Nunca pensé que encontraría
un lugar donde estar en paz.
Je ne pensais pas pouvoir, un jour,
me sentir en sécurité.
Pensavo che non avrei
 mai trovato... un porto sicuro per me.
Nunca achei que encontraria um
lugar onde me sentisse seguro.
Я думал, что никогда не найду
для себя безопасное место.
