Koushi finally reunites with Hinako. They set out for the palace, but their path brings them face to face with the last of the capital's treefolk. Meanwhile, Touko and Akira encounter a familiar face of their own.
Not even the spiders
 who have nullified combustion.
ولا حتّى العناكب الّذين قد أبطلوا الاحتراق

all'autocombustione.
Nem mesmo as aranhas que

Перед ней не устоят и «пауки»,
поборовшие самовоспламенение.
