◇The following contains spoilers.
In episode 9, Makoto leaves Kokoro (Shibata Haruno) in the care of Sachiko and Juria (Mukai Yuka) to search for Reina, and heads to the police with Minoru (Itao Itsuji). Meanwhile, Sachiko receives a call from Reina. Reina tells her the truth about Sachiko's father's death in exchange for coming to Reina alone.
On the way to the police station, Makoto listens to Minoru's confession about Reina, but in the middle of the conversation, Makoto falls asleep due to Minoru's trick.
Meanwhile, Sachiko entrusts her heart to Juria to follow Makoto and Minoru to the police. However, Sachiko heads to the meeting place with Reina. However, Minoru appears there with a murder weapon. Minoru raises a hammer at Sachiko, but Makoto stops him in the nick of time. Makoto, who did not trust Minoru, pretended to be asleep.
Meanwhile, Reina quietly returns to her home and confronts Juria. Juria tries to retrieve the evidence data, but is stabbed by Reina. Reina then disappears with Kokoro, then appears at Minoru's lab with the murder weapon... and so the story unfolds.
Later in the story, Makoto receives a call that Minoru has been found dead in the lab. Makoto tells Sachiko that if they don't find Reina as soon as possible, there may be more victims. When Sachiko mutters, "Where on earth did she go?", Makoto responds, "She must still be nearby." When Sachiko asks, "How do you know?" Makoto is silent, and then says, "I'm sorry... there's one thing I haven't told you. Do you remember when I lost my mother when I was in elementary school?" He then continues, "The truth is, I had my mother... killed. By Rena." To Sachiko's surprise, Makoto says, "So that was the first murder Rena committed. That may have been the beginning of everything."
On social media, many people expressed their horror at Makoto's confession. Comments included "It's too dark," "What an unexpected turn of events," "I'm at a loss for words at this shocking and sudden turn of events," "It's too dark," and "It was an unexpected turn of events."
