• Meanwhile, Qianyi, Talulah, Kiana, Hiiragi Tina, and the Ursus group dine casually on Kazimierz cuisine while overseeing the city’s restoration.
• The Merchants’ Guild attempts to negotiate with Qianyi after the Sarkaz attack, but their representatives are killed, apparently because Qianyi considers them part of the conflict’s casualties.
• Platinum is discovered working as a waitress. She explains that the Armorless Alliance has disbanded and that its members are hiding in the restaurant after the Merchants’ Guild’s destruction.
• Platinum receives a delayed message revealing that her superiors have already escaped, leaving her behind. Overwhelmed by despair, she briefly collapses, though she mentally refuses to die because she still wants to help restore the Sarkaz.
• Theresis discovers an abandoned, ten-day-old boxed meal called “Pin Hao Fan” beneath the ruins. Despite its age, starvation makes it appear to him like a divine feast. He decides to eat it, believing he can finish before Qianyi’s group attacks.
• W, seeking revenge for Theresia’s death, finds Theresis and attacks him with numerous Magnetic Bombs. The explosion destroys the food and leaves Theresis’s clothing in tatters, but he survives.
