Episode 8 Plot: Yuito attempts to reason with Nagi, who barely saves Yuito's platoon from an Other behind their backs. He also reveals that he didn't kill the scientists that brainwashed him, he merely incapacitated them. Unfortunately, the scientists unleash a horde on both Yuito's platoon and Nagi, intending to capture them both. As Yuito and his squadmates escape, Nagi elects to remain behind and hold the Others off as much as he can, saying that it is too hard for him to break free off New Himuka's brainwashing. Luka realizes Yuito's objectivity is compromised, so he forcibly teleports him out of the hospital and advises him to retreat for now. As the team retreats into their shelter, Nagi is recaptured by the scientists, who subject him to the brainwashing process yet again. At the shelter, Fubuki tells Yuito's team that the New Himukan government was planning to eliminate them because of their investigation on the hospital, but Fubuki convinced them otherwise, under the pretense that he was watching Yuito's movements. He also explains that the government brainwashes people it deems inconvenient, like Nagi, who witnessed Naomi become an Other. The hospital was founded by the government as an effort to research psionics and create powerful psionic users, but the experiments yielded two by-products: personality rehabilitation (brainwashing) and metamorphosis (human transformation into an Other). Unfortunately, Fubuki cannot explain any further, as the government is watching his actions very closely, so he tells the team to listen to Luka instead. Luka, having heard some of the story from his brother Karen, explains to the team that Fubuki was engaged to Alice Ichijo, Hanabi's aunt. Official reports stated that Alice was killed in action, but she was in fact turned into an Other, but unlike Naomi, Alice's metamorphosis was an accident, not the actions of the government. Meanwhile, Kasane, with full support of her squad, infiltrates a Seiran facility where Naomi is being supposedly held at. Once they infiltrate the facility, the squad finds ampules similar to the ones used to turn Naomi into an Other. As Arashi attempts hack into the facility's computers, the squad is attacked by Others, but they escape by running into a hall too small for Others to fit through. Suddenly, Kasane picks up a psionic transmission from Naomi, which Haruka confirms comes from the facility. The squad finally reaches the room Naomi is being held at and are surprised she is capable of psionic communication despite her Other form. Unfortunately, such moments of human sapience are brief and Naomi briefly returns to her Other-like mentality and attacks Kasane. Fortunately, Karen intervenes and injects Naomi with an ampule, causing Naomi to fall asleep. Karen explains that the ampules allow Naomi to retain some semblance of human intelligence, but they are little more than a temporary measure, and he believes that the only way for Naomi to regain her humanity is with Kasane's psionic powers. Yuito and his team are told by Fubuki to be more discreet about their activities and one of the OSF soldier gives Yuito a box of medicines, as prescribed by the OSF's hospital. As he opens the box, he is shocked to find the meds are the same ampules Naomi had been injected with.
