[BLIND LET'S PLAY]
Within Nozomi H.Q., plans are discussed to conduct the next experiment for "NOAH II" that aims to bring the project to completion, with an ominous-sounding name called "The Third Melt" being brought up and filling Neo with a sense of dread for what's to come. And at the center of these plans is the same "Ir2" formula Neo, which Neo continues to learn about, both from the suits at the top of the conspiracy...

So ignoring Rimi's pleas, Neo/Takumi press forward until they find themselves on the street where the house should be located...
... and it is here that both he and Neo, after seeing what is waiting for them upon arriving at their destination, are explained to by Rimi a despair-inducing truth about not just who Takumi is, but WHAT he is... as well as admitting to her knowledge as to the identity of the New Gen killer, and why they targeted Takumi to begin with. And before either Neo or Tak..
