Episode 10 picks up a few days after the previous episode ended; Shu is on the verge of a mental breakdown after having to end Jun's life in order to keep him from killing Yahiro and endangering everyone around them and is thrust into the midst of yet another battle between GHQ and the Undertakers. Everyone is doing their part to try and secure the GHQ headquarters where the stone was taken and everything is going according to plan until it's Shu's turn. As he reaches for Inori, he panics and tries to withdraw his hand. Inori grabs it and tries to force him to draw out her Void, but he seems to snap and runs away screaming. Gai is irritated by this, but tells everyone to continue with the plan. Unfortunately, things go awry and soon the Undertakers need to withdraw from their fight. After the fight has ended, we see Haruka being called into a meeting with Daryl's father. It's here that she learns about the stone that Keido took from that island was all part of a greater plan to subdue the population. As if that wasn't enough, she learns about Shu being a part of the Undertakers, which comes as a complete shock to her. However, even with this information, it doesn't seem to deter her from keeping her son safe and getting to the bottom of what's going on in GHQ. She ends up going to the cell that Keido is being held in and begins questioning him, particularly about how he managed to get his hands on her deceased husband's ID card and why he stole the stone in the first place. Keido only answers her cryptically, which doesn't seem to help Haruka at all. A few days later, we see Shu hiding out in the video club's club room and Hare brings him some breakfast. The two talk for a bit, though it's mostly Hare asking Shu if he's ready to come back to class yet, since everyone is really worried about him. Shu doesn't say much, but agrees to try going back to class in order to try returning to some sense of normalcy. Unfortunately, when he does actually enter the school and runs into his classmates, he's bombarded with images of his friends turning into crystals before his eyes. This causes him to curl into the fetal position and it seems as though Hare is the only one who can talk him down from his delusions.
