"Chairwoman Sun Ji is recovering in Enheria's hospital. If you care that much, why don't you go see her yourself?"
She had charged into the magical girls' lines alone and, unsurprisingly, ended up seriously injured. Now she lay in a hospital bed wrapped in plaster casts and bandages. Though Fomalhaut wasn't feeding her little rabbit-shaped apple slices, she was staying by her side to care for her, returning after every meeting to relay what had been discussed.
Enheria and Zodiacal had reached a temporary reconciliation.
So magical girls could visit Enheria's base now. Yuehan could absolutely go see her in the hospital-even right this moment.
