Mikoto runs into Toma and ends up vandalizing a vending machine to spit out drinks to compensate for some money it stole from Toma. Kuroko arrives on the scene and, despite not being pleased over the presence of a supposed 'boyfriend', feels relieved that Mikoto appears to be back to her cheerful self and takes her leave. However, Mikoto's joy is shortlived when another Sister, Misaka 10031, appears before her, telling her in private that the experiments are still ongoing. Horrified to learn more Sisters have died because of her, Mikoto ends up yelling at Misaka 10031 for reminding her of Misaka 9982. Later discovering that countless other facilities have picked up the experiment, Mikoto comes to realize that her enemy is Academy City itself. Meanwhile, Accelerator recalls how he was first approached about the Level 6 Shift project. Deciding that she will need to do something drastic in order to stop the experiments, Mikoto feels relieved that Kuroko would still perform her duty as Judgment should she be labelled a criminal for doing so.
