Long Summary
In an alternate timeline, during the Touma time travelling fiasco, Kusuo tells Shun, Riki, Aren, Chiyo, Kineshi and Kokomi that he is a psychic. They are surprised. Kusuo decides to start heading back to the past, only for them to stop him.

In the present, the others are surprised that they are able to see two Kusuos. Kusuo remembers that Reita looks like himself due to his hypnosis and that Reita should have made them not come to the location they are in. Seeing Kusuo and Mikoto angered, Reita panics and explains it was out of his control.

After Kusuo communicated with Reita, Riki asks him if he is actually Kusuo, Reita panics. The others join Riki, saying he is acting differently, making the situation worse for Reita. He somehow satisfied them by saying "good grief" too many times. Kusuo asks him how did they found out, Reita explaining it was Metori's fault along with a helicopter behind him. Kusuo understands and figures it out, he was seen from above while he was too busy and focused on stopping the eruption. Reita explains Metori saw and brought everyone along in the helicopter soon afterwards, thus bringing them to the situation they have now.

Shun asks Kusuo why there is two of him, Aren asks him what was he doing during the earthquake and holding the ground, Chiyo asks why he was hugging Mikoto and Kokomi, with a follow up, asks what are their relationship. Kusuo questions what should he do, Reita says to leave it to him. To calm them, Reita tells the others that the two are twins. They are in shock, Kusuo believes it will be hard to convince them but decides to go along with it. Kusuo's clones arrive to the scene, saying they are heading out, ruining their excuse. The others are in shock once again. Reita tells them that they are actually sextuplets, along with claims to back it up, however this time no one is believing him.

Shun tells him to stop and to tell the truth. As a friend, he wants Kusuo to trust him and to not hide anything. Chisato and Kokomi join in with Shun. Mikoto tells him he really has no choice but to tell them, Kusuo disagrees. Kusuo does not want to tell them, at least not yet. Shun, about to go on, is stopped by Riki. Riki explains that Kusuo does not need to tell them anything, he will still be their friend, and he could tell them when he wants to. Shun is surprised that Riki said something coherent. Kineshi agrees with Riki, adding that people do not keep a secret due to trust but because they care for them. He believes Kusuo is keeping this secret because he cares for them so they should wait. Shun complains however Chiyo calls him, confessing her love to him. Shun is surprised, Chiyo goes on that if she would have told him, he would be troubled and not be able to have fun in this trip. She ends her argument by saying that people can not say the truth to those they trust or even love, asking Kokomi if she is right. Kokomi agrees, a bit nervously. Aren, Chisato and Metori agree that Kusuo can tell them when he is ready. Mikoto tells Kusuo that he can tell them, they are sure to accept him. Kusuo tells her that he knows.

In an alternate timeline, once again, Shun, Riki, Aren, Chiyo, Kineshi and Kokomi are still surprised but are amazed at the fact he is a psychic. They are sorry that they could not help him for so long and he is touched.

Remembering the event, Kusuo knows while their relationships were different, they will accept him. Kusuo speaks out loud, surprising the others and look at his direction. Kusuo tells them with a smile and a bit jokingly that they are all a pain. They are surprised, believing it is the first time they hear his voice and see him smile. They laugh, asking how forgettable is he, only to see he is gone.

Kusuo time leap, making the event of them seeing him stop the eruption not happen. He makes it where Metori's helicopter does not work, stops the volcano and comes home without being seen. Kusuo asks Kusuke why is he home, Kusuke explains he can not stay lying around since it was the day of the eruption. Kusuke asks Kusuo if he completely erased that timeline, Kusuo says yes. Kusuke continues, asking about Chiyo who confessed to Shun, Kusuo feels a tad bit bad for erasing that part. He then asks Kusuo if he will keep his powers a secret after all. Kusuo tells him no, he will tell them after he puts on the new limiter device. Kusuke asks if he is finally going to use it, Kusuo says yes. Kusuo goes on saying that he decided to tell them about his powers after they are gone. He does not want to disturb them with his powers and still continue having them afterwards. Kusuke understands the logic behind it.

Their parents come into the room, asking Kusuo if he really is removing his powers. Kusuke, in a way, says yes. They express their concerns but he calms them down. Kusuo removes his current limit device, ready to put on the new device. He tells Kusuke that he is sorry that they can not compete against each other anymore. Kusuke, upset, says he will be bored. Kusuo tells sorry to his mom for the hardships he has given her. She, crying, says that he was the one to have hardships. He goes on to his father, saying sorry that he can not help them. Kusuo starts to put the device, happy to finally remove his powers but says they were quite useful sometimes.

It is the new day, Kusuo no longer has his limit devices nor his glasses, his powers are gone. He is surprised he is able to adjust to this fact. Kokomi calls for him, happy to be classmates with him again, as well as an added bonus of being able to sit next to each other. Kusuo states that he no longer has any way to go against her and can not hear her thoughts. She asks him what did he say.

Kokomi is highly pleased, believing Kusuo is going to finally confessed. She enters the room, only to see the others, the smile quickly leaves and is in shock. They asks her if Kusuo asks her to come by too and surprised that he called nearly all of them over. They wonder what he wants tell them, Touma says he has an idea as to what Kusuo might tell them. Shun tells him to tell them but Touma insists on Kusuo telling them himself.

Kusuo, in a hallway, believes most of them must have arrived. He is a bit terrified to tell them, but he wants to since he has a lot of things to apologize about. He starts to walk towards the room only to see a bug. Terrified of them, he is startled, only to hear something break. He wonders what was that noise only to see the window next to him shattered. He is surprised, figures it probably was him who broke it, and can not believe it.
