On the final day of the punishment, Mooncat reflected on her peaceful life in the holy city as someone approached and the passing nuns offered greetings.

• Talu tried to attack Kurumi with gray-black mist, but she stopped him and knocked him unconscious while the Life Mother Tree absorbed the mist.
