Episode Title:
Camouflage.
Episode Description:
Banba is driving through the mountains with his friend Saori to visit the elementary school from the previous episode. They enter a lighted highway tunnel, where a sudden earth tremor brings down rocks and debris, wrecking the car. Banba finds a semi-conscious Saori in the rubble and drags her to the tunnel's exit. The two collapse just outside the tunnel mouth as an explosion rocks the mountain face. Banba looks on in horror when what he had perceived as Saori's body transforms into the severed tip of a huge tongue. The piece of flesh is evidently part of an enormous monster revealed to be camouflaged as the highway tunnel, its mouth the entrance and its gullet camouflaged as roadway and lighting. A jet war-craft flies by overhead, a possible cause for the explosion.
