• Ling Feng ordered the group to retreat and report Anti-Entropy’s Honkai-sealing technology, while Rita visited the injured Durandal in the medical bay.

• Bronya resisted the control and activated an emergency procedure to burn out her bio-chip.

Bronya resisted Cocolia’s control by turning Project Bunny on herself, and a quantum event swept Bronya, Seele, Project Bunny, and Ling Feng into the Quantum World. Ling Feng later washed ashore in Yae Village, where Yae Sakura brought him home and argued with the village elders for permission to use the spring water to save him.

• Ling Feng and Yae Sakura returned home with supplies, and Yae Sakura resumed spending her free time with him and bathing in the Imaginary Space.

• Ling Feng suspected that Yae Village’s recurring Honkai outbreaks were connected to its spring and examined Yae Sakura’s fox ears, finding that they were the source of her Honkai energy and a serious weakness.

• Ling Feng showed Yae Sakura a lesson on Honkai corruption and concluded that her father’s symptoms matched it, while her compatibility with Honkai energy and the fox demon may have protected her.
• Ling Feng reasoned that Yae Sakura’s father must have touched something that caused his corruption and began investigating its connection to the village’s Honkai outbreaks.

• Rin’s apparition asked Sakura to avenge her, while memories of her death repeatedly overwhelmed Sakura.

Yae Sakura escaped the Imaginary Space, slaughtered the village in revenge for Rin, and turned on Ling Feng when he tried to make her discard Jizo's Muramasa. After Ling Feng entered her consciousness, he discovered that the blade held the consciousness of Ling, the Herrscher of Erosion, and tried to drive her out of Yae Sakura.

After Yae Sakura avenged herself and burned Yae Village, she left with Ling Feng and chose Europe as their destination. Their journey stalled at the prospect of crossing the ocean until Hizamaru revealed she could fly, though she resisted carrying them.
