Kiana and the others encountered Netherworld Guards whose masks trapped Kiana in an illusion of being smothered with affection by Asakura Miyuki, Fu Hua, and Mei.

After the Ten Lords Bureau took custody of Fuyan, Fu Xuan arranged medical examinations for the Express crew, and Bailu’s teasing left Stelle confused about what “improper strenuous exercise” meant.

• Himeko urged everyone to wash their hands and eat before discussing the situation, and the two Kianas both identified themselves as Kiana Kaslana.

Theresa told Siegfried that another Kiana had appeared at St. Freya Academy, prompting him to head there while Otto, Cocolia, and Welt each suspected someone else was behind it. At the academy, the group struggled to find the homeless newcomer a place to sleep, and Mei proposed that the two Kianas share rooms.

• Theresa called Siegfried and told him another Kiana had appeared at St. Freya Academy, so he set out to investigate and wondered whether Otto was involved.
• Otto learned of the new Kiana through an informant and realized he had no idea how she had appeared.

• The newcomer Kiana had nowhere to stay, so she spent the evening on Himeko's sofa while the others debated sleeping arrangements.
• Mei suggested that the local Kiana sleep with her and the newcomer Kiana use the local Kiana's room.

Mei, Kiana, Little Kiana, Bronya, and Himeko settled in for the night, while Kiana teased Little Kiana and then began pranking the others the next morning. Kiana appeared beside a confused Bronya, who woke to find another version of herself where her Hohom pillow had been.
