1	"Hakone" Transliteration: "Hakone" (Japanese: 箱根)	Yoshinobu Tokumoto	Kazuyuki Fudeyasu	Yoshinobu Tokumoto	October 4, 2025 (2025-10-04)
As they recharge their battery-powered motorcycle, Youko and Airi explore the cafe at the Hakone Taikanzan. Airi later finds the wreck of a Maneuver Combat Vehicle and a nearby support truck containing rations. As they rest for some time, Airi notices that the MCV's sensors are actually watching them, then suddenly springs back to life and proceeds to attack them. Airi disables the MCV using her arm-mounted plasma cannon, then Youko permanently shuts its AI off. They later take a side trip to Hakone's hot springs, where Yoko had flashbacks of their trips to Hakone with her big sister, before heading to Yokohama Minatomirai next.
2	"Yokohama, Yokosuka" Transliteration: "Yokohama Yokosuka" (Japanese: 横浜・横須賀)	Kaho Kamiya	Kazuyuki Fudeyasu	Yoshinobu Tokumoto	October 11, 2025 (2025-10-11)
Youko and Airi travel toward the now-submerged Yokohama Minatomirai but are stopped by the broken Yokohama Bay Bridge. As Youko goes fishing, Airi discovers the upper half of a cyborg named Schwar, who reactivates when connected to their motorcycle’s battery. Carrying a photo of his family, Schwar slowly regains his memories as they journey toward Yokosuka. Along the way, they encounter the wreck of a Sōryū-class submarine perched on the road and witness mutated giant orcas. Moved by the sight of the family of orcas, Schwar—whose real name is Suzuki Ichiro, a sailor with the Maritime Defense Force—feels sorrow for never returning to his loved ones. Though Youko invites him to join them, he chooses to stay behind. As his batteries run out, Ichiro reflects on his past and the day meteors devastated Earth, finally sinking into the sea near Yokosuka—his final homecoming.
3	"Setagaya, Shinbashi, Ariake, Tokyo Big Sight" Transliteration: "Setagaya Shinbashi Ariake Tōkyō Biggu Saito" (Japanese: 世田谷・新橋・有明・東京ビッグサイト)	Daisuke Takashima	Kazuyuki Fudeyasu	Kazuya Nakanishi	October 18, 2025 (2025-10-18)
As Youko and Airi charge their motorcycle from a wrecked electric car outside Tokyo, they obtain fresh water from a river and discover canned goods hidden in one home and stayed overnight, where Yoko found, and left alone, the remains of its former occupant lying in bed. They reach the submerged Tokyo Big Sight the next day by following the ruined Yurikamome railway. Youko hoped to see motorcycles once exhibited there—especially those from a photo with her older sister at an annual motorcycle show—but find only remnants of doujin manga from the last event. Reading one, she feels the passion of its creator. As they rest after swimming with penguins in the nearby sea, Youko dreams of the world before the apocalypse—riding a gasoline-powered version of her motorcycle with her big sister. Upon waking, Airi hears distant music, which Youko hears by tuning her phone's radio app to the frequency of an automated FM station still transmitting from somewhere in the ruins of Akihabara.
