Ren’s motorcycle is cool, but in this world, it’s a dinner bell. The loud exhaust that makes him a "Bad Boy" is now a liability. The chapter focuses on the transition from **Loud Survival (The Chase)** to **Silent Survival (The Hideout)**.

Kaori and Ren stop for the night in a closed karaoke room, a place built for voices that now demands silence. In the stillness, Kaori reveals the cassette she has been carrying and the reason for her journey: a single song once played on the radio for her sister during a lonely night shift. She has no illusions about saving the city or reaching survivors—she only wants that song to be heard one last time before everything goes quiet forever. Ren listens, understands, and chooses to stay as a witness rather than a hero. The chapter ends with the song unplayed, the destination set, and silence held as something sacred rather than empty.
