Episode Title:
City of Two - Welcome to our town.
Episode Description:
Ayato is hindered in his escape by Fortissimo. The stalker, now recognized as Haruka Shitou, is held safe by the RahXephon, but Reika stands on its shoulder as it is hit by an energy blast. The RahXephon crushes Fortissimo to pieces and then reaches outside the barrier of Tokyo Jupiter, ending up at an abandoned town near the barrier. After gathering some food, Ayato and Haruka take shelter in a fishing boat for the night. Haruka reveals the truth about the world to Ayato, mentioning that he has time lapsed for twelve years. The following day, Ayato goes off on his own and receives a call via payphone from his mother, telling him to not be compelled by a group of people who will try to. Haruka finds him to tell him that the barrier separates his home city from the outside. Haruka later ignites the boat on fire to signal contact with the TERRA Organization.
