Akira: "Nobody dies. Debt settled. You don’t owe me. I don’t owe you. Leave Osaka."

Youko: "Report."

Kuroishi slits two of Takeda’s men. Takeda is on his knees. Kuroishi raises the blade—then stops. He looks directly at Akira’s hiding spot.

Akira steps out. No tracksuit—just a black jacket. His face is still blank.

Akira: "Episode 4. No one dies. That’s a win."

Youko: "That’s not debt. That’s bait. You kill Takeda, the whole city war starts. And we get exposed."

Kuroishi: "Long time, Fable. You look like a salaryman who gave up."

Akira: "Kuroishi left on a night bus. Takeda’s in a coma. No bodies."

Kuroishi: "Boss said no engagement. But I’m not asking. I’m telling. You owe me from Tokyo. Remember the warehouse? I didn't shoot you then."

Akira tails Kuroishi to a meet with Takeda. Kuroishi is supposed to negotiate peace, but instead he pulls a knife. Akira watches from a ventilation tower. He doesn’t move.
