Part in the Story

Shikkoku No Hana

Kamami hacking PANDORA's servers.

Kanami quits her job at the Observatory after it is decided that the Doll system should be closed. While discussing this with Misaki, she states that she is thinking of leaving Japan and taking up an invitation to be work at an observatory in Hawaii. She states that she wants to live as far away form Hell's Gate and Contractors as possible. She teases Misaki about Hei before reassuring her after she reveals the struggle she has had with catching Hei and making things better. Misaki tells her that Section 4 is being dissolved and she will be transferred elsewhere. She thanks Kanami for listening and leaves.

Kanami later hacks in to PANDORA's servers in order to scan the Nishijima building for Misaki. She then informs Misaki that things appear to be serious there, with everything below the lab level sealed off as enemy forces are inside. Misaki asks if there is another way in and Kanami tells her about a crane on the roof of the second tower of the building which she might be able to use to gain access to the tower she wishes to infiltrate.

Gemini of the Meteor

Kanami discusses the disappearance of BK-201's star with Misaki on the phone and tells her to forget about him and get another man.
