Episode 6

Plot
A flashback of Honoka and a cheerful girl named Ruru is shown. Noriko contacts the Kiznaivers to explain that they were successfully able to connect pain through their hearts. At Katsuhira's apartment, Tsuguhito does not show up and Honoka decides to leave early.

At a restaurant, Tsuguhito's friends are enamored by a yuri manga under the pen name Charles de Macking, but a chord strikes within Tsuguhito when he recognizes a line in the manga that Honoka has said, prompting him to leave. Honoka is approached by an editor, who seeks to obtain the rights to produce her manga as a movie. After Tsuguhito stop him, Honoka runs off in anger. As Tsuguhito later shares a piece of Honoka's past as a manga author to the other Kiznaivers, Noriko assigns them a special mission to save her. Honoka arrives at the school, surrounded by a film crew, causing her to break down with a massive pain signal. The rest of the group still manages to find her and drive away the film crew.

While Honoka runs off in utter shock, Katsuhira expresses his disappointment in Noriko by how halfhearted the mission felt.
