Takimoto (Haruhiko Kato) of the editorial department reported to JBN chairman Kunisada (Hideki Takahashi) that "Weekly Seicho has contacted us to say that this article will be published soon." The article, titled "The dark truth that was covered up by 20 million yen of secret Cabinet funds!!", delved into Shindo's dark connections with the political world.
"I had high hopes for Shindo-kun, but it's a shame," said Kunisada with a grim expression. When asked, "Where did this scoop photo come from?" Takimoto replied, "We're calling him in person."
"Come in," they were called into the room, and it was Motohashi who appeared before Kunisada and the others.
On social media, comments were made such as, "Motohashi, you betrayed us," "This is a shock to me as I believed in Motohashi's puppy-like behavior," "Is there something behind this too?" "I was surprised by Motohashi's final appearance but it's possible that it was a misleading display," "Motohashi at the end seems to have had some intention," and "I think Shindo did it in order to corner the other person and pursue the truth even at the cost of sacrificing himself."
Also, referring to Tuki's theme song "Decoy Love," some people commented, "I never expected such an unexpected scene to unfold at the end. It's truly Decoy Love," and "Is this also a Decoy Love flag?"
