Summary
Hayato sees Kira move further behind the tree and wonders if he knows that Stray Cat is hidden in his backpack. Kira recalls the look Hayato gave him before leaving the house and how it looked full of determination, comparing it to the faces Koichi and Josuke had given him previously. He considers biding his time until Rohan dies, but, looking closer, he sees tears in Hayato's eyes and decides that he is over-thinking things. He steps out to give Hayato his hat, and Hayato fires an air bullet at him.
Kira is knocked down by the air bullet, and Hayato approaches to make sure he is dead. Suddenly Kira punches him, but the blow is blocked by Bites the Dust. Kira gets up and reveals that the air bullet was blocked by the watch in his front pocket. He tries to backhand Hayato but is unable to because Bites the Dust is still protecting him. Hayato realizes his plan has failed.
