Summary
The remaining Guild members, Alcott, Steinbeck, and Twain view the crashing of Moby Dick. They discuss the Guild's fate. Alcott decided to look for Fitzgerald, Steinbeck decides to protect what's left of the organization. Twain decides to head back home to write his biography. Lovecraft then appears as his "contract" with Fitzgerald is complete and jumps into the ocean to sleep. Alcott, Steinbeck, and Twain are stunned. Following the crash of Moby Dick, Ango appears annoyed as the war will cause him a lot of stress and work. Melville is sitting on a bench nearby as Ango asks him for his co-operation. Melville wonders why he would depend on him. Ango replies that it is because Melville was actually one of the first Guild members. The two walk away as a miniature Moby Dick follows behind Melville. Back at the Agency, everyone celebrates as Kyōka is officially declared as a member of the Agency. Everybody drinks and eats as they have a party. At the Mafia, the Executives also celebrate drinking wine. On the other side, Dazai and Hirotsu speak and talk about everything. Dazai explains why he decided to form the next generation of Twin Dark to battle a certain somebody in the near future. The person behind the crash of Moby Dick turns out to be Fyodor Dostoyevsky with the assistance of Hawthorne. Hawthorne's motive for joining Fyodor is to get Mitchell the treatment she needs and that he'll only be helping for that. Dostoyevsky says that's all he needs and says that together they will taint Yokohoma with the blood of the sinners, for a better world.
