Before Yu moves back to Tokyo, he realizes from a letter by Adachi the group have not yet discovered the one who spread the rumors about Midnight Channel. He discovers it is the gas attention attendant he met in the first episode. When confronting him, it is revealed that "he" was Izanami, who gave the power to enter the TV to Adachi, Namatame and Yu. Izanami also explains that she created a "window" to see what people have suppressed, The Midnight Channel. She said it came from mankind's nature to the purest form of what they wanted to see. It is also said that in the eternal fog people will always see the world they wanted. Yu and his friends confront Izanami in the TV world, but all of Yu's friends get swallowed by the Shadows. A distressed Yu relives the 20th of March again and is trapped in the illusion. Finally, Margaret slaps him because Yu has become entranced. She then prepares to strike Yu with Helel.
