Furykov's four ringers resolve strangely: three don't know they can use Nen — Loberry initiated by Silent Majority, Shedule and Yuhirai half-awakened and memory-wiped by Halkenburg's beast — leaving a fourth expert still hidden. Momoze's killer is revealed as her guard Tuffdy, whom Hanzo executes and stages as a suicide. Hanzo also finds Room 1013 empty but for a sinister copy of Marayam's beast, and Camilla marches out to kill Benjamin.
