The next episode will dive into Company 8’s investigation of Company 1, which could mean we see something like this unveiled or something even worse if Company 1’s secrets are found.
The dichotomy between Shinra and Company 5’s Captain Hibana shows perhaps how someone could try to whittle down the optimism that Shinra continues to show.
Company 8’s look into Company 5 is perhaps not the model way of trying to acquire information on what kinds of bizarre things they would be up to.
