Synopsis
While trying to determine the meaning of the "WC?" message, Akane Tsunemori goes with Enforcer Sakuya Togane to interrogate Akira Kitazawa, who claims that someone else helped to keep his crime coefficient down and was responsible for the fake hostage, though another Inspector, Risa Aoyanagi, does not believe this to be true. Later, as Analyst Shion Karanomori and Enforcer Sho Hinakawa learn that the fake hostage was an elaborately detailed hologram modeled after someone who died years ago, Kitazawa's Crime Coefficient suddenly drops below that of a latent criminal, resulting in him being transferred to a general medical facility. Shortly afterwards, Tsunemori discovers another "WC?" message scrawled in her apartment, before being alerted that Kitazawa has attacked Aoyanagi and escaped, believing that his claimed assistant was the one who set up his escape route. Kitazawa is cornered by Tsunemori's group, uttering the name "Kirito Kamui" before he is eliminated by Aoyanagi, his last words leading Tsunemori to realize that "WC?" actually stands for "What Color?".
