In the aftermath, Max's investigation prompts a scandal in Washington, while Sing convinces Yut-Lung to end his pursuit of Eiji and Ash. Eiji and Ibe return to Japan, though Ash recognizes the danger he exposes Eiji to and does not attempt to contact him. Before he departs, Eiji entrusts a letter for Ash to Sing, wherein he tells Ash that "my soul is always with you."
