Kayo remains absent from school, and Satoru gradually accepts that the kidnapping still occurred despite the changed date. He blames himself for relaxing after March 1 and for failing to remove her from danger completely. Soon another girl, Aya Nakanishi, also disappears, showing that the broader sequence of crimes is continuing. At Kayo's home, Satoru sees Akemi discard her daughter's belongings, including unfinished knitted gloves, and the sight overwhelms him. Revival abruptly returns him to 2006, where he is still wanted for Sachiko's murder. He runs from the police and encounters Airi Katagiri, his teenage coworker. Airi believes that Satoru is innocent and hides him in her home. Together they compare what he remembers with the recorded history and discover that his actions in 1988 altered small details, even though Kayo still died. Satoru investigates the old case while Airi resists pressure from their manager to report him. After Satoru relocates to avoid exposing her, someone sends Airi a message from Sachiko's phone. She returns home and becomes trapped when the house is deliberately set on fire, leaving Satoru racing toward the blaze.
