The students Kyouko Kinoshita are concerned about Kyouko Kinoshita who seems to have disappeared. Nagi questions Echoes, but he cannot detect the Manticore's presence. When Niitoki, Masami and Shirou broadcast a message over the public address system Nagi attacks and captures them, thinking one may be the Manticore, but Echoes says they are normal. Suddenly, Masami stabs Echoes with a pen and cuts Nagi’s throat as the Manticore appears in Yurihara's body. Echoes grabs Nagi and escapes and the Manticore pursues thems while Masami threatens Niitoki. The Manticore beats Echoes because poison in Masami's pen weakened him, but Echoes transforms his body into data and transmits himself back to the source. The Manticore prepares to kill Niitoki, however Boogiepop appears, trapping the beast in a web of wires and Shirou kills it by firing an arrow through its head. Later, they find Nagi alive as Echoes had shared some of his life force to save her. Back at school, Nagi and Niitoki recall how Kyouko said that Echoes was and angel sent by God to pass judgement on humanity which seems to have earned a reprieve, and also how humans are very much indebted Boogiepop for saving them.
