XI. Some time later, Yoite is released from the hospital. Yukimi is set to pick them up, and Yoite tells Miharu a little more about how Kira works. He tells him there's no way to restore his life force, but he can stimulate the ki of those who are wandering toward death. This proves important information, as when they try to coax Raikou to come back? He refuses and only tells Yukimi if he can beat him in a match, that he'll join him. However, Raikou's talk of Gau not waking up makes Yoite angry because he isn't trying to preserve his most precious thing. Yoite suggests Daya, but Raikou rejects it and they begin to argue. Yoite reveals that he has killed his own mother in the course of the argument, and tells Raikou that there is nothing left that is precious to him. He says he's only going forward for his wish, and asks Miharu if that's correct. Miharu doesn't answer. In any case, Yoite eventually takes off, only to use Kira to revive Gau. The others race after him, but only discover that Gau is now awake.

XII. Ends up that Miharu and Yoite had likely wandered off to Yoite's hideout. They come back, but only after Hattori makes it clear that they're not messing around anymore and will be more-or-less taking over for Yukimi. Yukimi had attempted to protest, but he failed. Even so, they go on ahead and celebrate Miharu's birthday, though Yoite knows things are going to come crashing down (probably he picked it up from Yukimi's lie earlier and the fact they mentioned they have to go get the one from Banten), and tells him he's going to get the kinjutsusho from there by himself. This is so Miharu doesn't have to suffer, but Yukimi tells him to knock it off and they get into a small argument - though Yoite ends up collapsing. Yoite is again sick, so Yukimi bundles him up and gets him lemonade, and he apologizes. Yukimi then asks him if he was serious about killing his mother, because that kind of thing sounded off - and pulls back the blanket to reveal what Yukimi dubs something "transparent" in terms of his expression. Ends up he did, though not in the way that is expected. Yukimi, motivated by that look, goes and decides that he will hunt down where Yoite was when he was "alive." He wants to know more about him, essentially.

XIII. Really shortening this: Yukimi finds out that Yoite is neither male or female, finds out what happened in his childhood (his mother died in childbirth and his "family" more-or-less took out all their grief, anger, and rage on him - culminated in stabbing him in the neck, where he only escaped because his "brother" allowed him the opening. Fell at Kairoushuu's feet after running, and opted to learn Kira (as revealed by Hattori) because he wanted to die/disappear), and finds out that Yoite used to be called "Sora." A little before this, it is revealed when Yoite came to Yukimi he had already learned Kira and that it would take some time for him to catch up to his age. It is presumed he came when he was about 14 to learn Kira, but his age (16) would not catch up to him physically. Instead, it would catch up over a three day period. During that time, Yukimi and his sister fed him pretty constantly to actually make him somewhat healthy. So, they presume this is why his appetite is still so large. Similarly, Yukimi also hunted down what he was wearing when they found him and found a card in his shirt pocket. So, he follows that card. Simultaneously, though, Miharu is taken by himself to see Hattori who tells him that his agreement with Yoite is pretty much pointless. Miharu begins to be threatened but Yoite, who had been worried, walked there to see him. He's greeted with that scene, and Hattori reveals Yoite's lack of hearing and makes the promise to "erase sad children like (him)," but Yoite more-or-less collapses emotionally. In tears, he tells himself that he can only trust Miharu to do this and they demand Hattori hand over all the kinjutsusho. However, Kasa (the organization that disrupted Alya and the organization that is run by Ichiki - Hattori's assist) comes to chase them off. Hattori tells them to keep Miharu safe, but kill Yoite.

XIV. More is found out about Yoite by Yukimi. Yoite and Miharu managed to run to an isolated and abandoned warehouse, where they are safe for the time being. Yoite goes off to get medical supplies for Miharu, even despite Miharu's protests, and comes back just as Miharu finishes talking to Yukimi. Ends up that the cellphones that Yukimi gave them both before they were out of his care were charged with money. Anyway, Yoite washes Miharu's face and his feet. He passes out quite abruptly afterward, though Miharu manages to rouse him and tells him that he'll curse him if he dies before he can erase him. Anyway, the eventually head to a bus stop and Miharu tells them they'll got to Banten and that they'll have to be sneaky about it. He assures Yoite it will be all right. In either case, they wander about for a while. Kasa catches up to them, and ask him why Yoite wants the Shinrabanshou to be used on him so badly. Whether it is to live or disappear, etc. Miharu manages to get them out of there, even so. They arrive at a train station and the master lets them stay the night in one of the station rooms. He gives them dry clothes, and Yoite refuses to change despite being soaked. When asked why, he speculates he's a girl - which Yoite disagrees with quite strongly. Even so, they eventually change and stay the night there. They leave before the station master can come back in the morning, and have a rather nice day. So, they're circulating around and hitchhike onto the back of a truck. There, they spill the secrets they've been keeping. Miharu wants Yoite to live, and Yoite wasn't holding his friends hostage after all (he thought they would carry traces of him, too - which he didn't want). So, they're able to take the train back to Banten finally, but Yoite tells Miharu that even without all of his senses at full capacity, Miharu beside him feels more there than ever before.

XV. Upon arriving back at Banten, they try and fail to sneak into Hanabusa's house. Hanabusa takes them in, and even tells Yoite he's allowed to decide who he is and what he wants, even though Yoite spills all the things he thinks about himself to her. But, things end badly when Miharu runs off after Yoite sort of shoves off the notion and gets captured by Kasa. Proceeding from there, they all try to hunt down where Miharu is and those wavering about helping Yoite before end up helping him now. Even though Yoite is definitely dying rapidly at this point, he eventually comes to the realization that he is himself and he wants to go home to Yukimi's and wants to stay by Miharu's side. Even so, he's quite literally falling apart and even when they discover each other - Yoite only has mere minutes left. They manage to sequester themselves away and Yukimi meets with them one more time before he goes off to distract Kasa (Yoite asks him to protect Miharu), and Miharu tells Yoite that he can live and that he'll change everything. Yoite tells him he knows that he won't want to because he's "so kind" and tells him that he's happy he's just thinking about him and asks him to erase him because he wants Miharu to be able to be happy in the future. So, after cradling his face and kissing his forehead - Yoite finally dies, and Miharu erases him.
