As he is directing his crew to locate Kyousuke and the P.A.N.D.R.A. gang along with several other espers that have gone missing, Taizou explains his dream of B.A.B.E.L. conclusively demonstrating to the world that euphoric and tolerant coexistence between espers and normal people is a vital possibility and declares his resolve of allowing nothing to derail it. Momotarou anxiously wondering about Kaoru's arrival and Kyousuke sipping his tea knowing that he will eventually have his volition complied set aside for the moment, Akie and Yoshimi are pointing to their work as an excuse for not making the effort to spend time with Kaoru as she awaits them in a restaurant and becomes despondent after she returns home that night. An awkward encounter with her classmate Chisato wondering about the collaborative and frequent school arrive/absence and an equally awkward explanation attempt that almost reveals about B.A.B.E.L. and its purpose later, Shiho's collision with a despondent parturient during the school return trip sets the stage for the still-anguished Kaoru to wonder if her mom Akie was happy about her birth. Minamoto's happiness of meeting Kaoru, Shiho, and Aoi because of the fact that they were born prompting a joyous telekinetic shove from Kaoru gives way to B.A.B.E.L. being charged the rescue of landslide casualties. As Aoi and her teammates excavate/appraise/evacuate the casualties, Taizou explains to the first responders that collaboration is necessary because there are no universal skeleton keys to the world within any one person. When the girls go to rescue the final casualty, they find that it is the parturient they encountered earlier -- a parturient with an esper fetus that neutralizes their powers to express its volition of death for itself not caring anything that Shiho and her teammates have been conscripted into its decision. While using as much of her telekinesis as she can to stop a boulder, Kaoru explains that she and her teammates lead a rough life as congenital espers that also has its good points as well -- the B.A.B.E.L. team using technology and esper capabilities to blast through the rubble and finally rescue them as Kyousuke assists from afar with the sentiment that Kaoru and the baby will become disgusted with the world and join him.
