• Xina returned to the laboratory, reflected on what might happen after she fulfilled her Herrscher mission, and decided that anyone who wanted her dead would die first.
• Bronya and Mei arrived at a platform in the Sea of Quanta and spotted what Bronya recognized as the core of the Herrscher of Reason.
• Bronya embraced the girl who looked like Seele, but Mei sensed something was wrong, and the girl revealed she was another Seele who wanted the core to escape the X-10 experiment and return from the Sea of Quanta.

• Mei kicked Bronya out of danger and fought the other Seele, holding back because she did not want to hurt Bronya's family.
