Borderland
Takato met Kaoru Chijimatsu and Kazuhiro Kotaro at the Two of Clubs game, which they won together. After this, the trio went back to the bar where Daichi, Emiko, Faith, Jinta, Katsuhito and Nanako were. Once at the bar, Katsuhito showed him Hikaru's polaroid. After questioning Katsuhito, Katsuhito confessed to murdering Hikaru Yamamoto. After Takato started to get aggressive towards Katsuhito, he was shot.
