Shouken manages to save Tanmoku Ki from captivity from the former head, but the former head's son spins a story of lies to paint Shouken's actions in a bad light and gets him in trouble. The situation is further complicated when Shouken's room is searched and they find that Shouken has been hiding some of Ki's hair. With Shouken behind bars, Ki desperately refuses to believe that his trusted bodyguard and companion would betray him and helps him escape. The final piece of Ki's nightmare falls into place for Keika.
What hurt Tanmoku-san the 
most wasn't that he died,
Was ihn so sehr verletzt hat,
ist nicht Shōkens Tod, …
Lo que más daño le hizo
no fue que muriera,
Lo que más le hizo daño
no fue que muriera,
Ce n’est pas sa mort
qui l’a profondément blessé,
Quello che ha fatto soffrire di più Tanmoku 
non è stata la sua morte,
O que mais feriu o Sr. Tanmoku
não foi ele ter morrido,
