Atta Industries now wants Kana and her son dead. Her late husband’s memory haunts her in visions, urging her to "unravel the strands." Kana realizes the USB drive contains Takeru’s final experiment: a counter-sequence to ADN-535, hidden in her wedding ring’s pebble, which is engineered with synthetic DNA. In a twist, Atsushi is not her blood, but a clone—yet he loves her unconditionally, becoming her moral compass.
