Continuing the flashback from the previous chapter, Gachiakuta chapter 125, titled Faceless Mob, begins with Follo arriving at the sight where he expects to see his friend engaged in a battle against a Trash Beast. Turns out, it's the Cleaners who wipe out a Trash Beast. Moreover, it's none other than Zanka, who showcases his brilliance as a new recruit.

Enjin lauds Zanka's efforts and his mastery of his Vital Instrument. Meanwhile, Follo is filled with puzzling emotions. On the one hand, he is overwhelmed to see the Cleaners; on the other, he wonders where his friend is. Follo wants to know how far his friend has progressed in terms of his dreams. That way, he can gauge the disparity between them.

However, Follo's dreams are shattered once he discovers that his friend has given up on his dreams. Instead of being proud of the hammer, the boy coops up in his house and doesn't even want to look Follo in the face. He asks Follo to go away since he's done with his aspirations.

According to the chapter, whenever Follo looked at his friend, his sparkling eyes instilled in his friend a deep sense of insecurity. He felt as if he was falling behind. That's why, Follo's friend wants him to stop tagging along with him. He urges Follo to become a Cleaner himself for all he cares.

Following that, the chapter returns to the present. Tears run through Follo's face as he lies helplessly, clutching onto his friend's hammer. He mentions how he only wanted to become a good rival to the boy, and nothing else. According to the chapter, Follo wanted to show everyone how people like him and his friend could become somebody.

Just then, Rudo rushes toward Follo, who doesn't want to give up on his friend's prized possession, symbolizing their shared dream. Gachiakuta chapter 125 ends with Follo handing over his Treasure to Rudo as he wants the boy to use it.

Given how the latest chapter ended, Gachiakuta chapter 126 will likely reveal Rudo's answering to Follo's request. There's a chance he may not accept his Treasure; rather he could urge the boy to get up and fight on his own.

As for Follo, his acceptance of his own past and the act of giving away his Treasure to Rudo shows his maturity. Thus, Gachiakuta chapter 126 could show Follo awakening his powers as a Giver and wielding his Treasure as his Vital Instrument.
