  • Chen Ran gives Savior Kal’tsit one of the divine halos. Unlike the crude halos worn by the Sarkaz Angels, hers appears highly sacred and technologically advanced.
  • The halo grants Savior Kal’tsit holographic angel wings and the ability to fly. She happily tests them, becoming the last of the Kal’tsit variants to gain flight.
  • Chen Ran jokes that since Savior Kal’tsit can now fly, Mylnar—the remaining “Miumiu”—will become the new target of his teasing. Mylnar insists she will not be tempted into wearing a halo.
  • Savior Kal’tsit asks to return to her original Worldline. Chen Ran assures her that the halo’s shared-sensation function will remain disabled until she returns, easing her fears.
  • On Terra, Kristen’s spaceflight and star chart have enabled the Preservers to begin planning interstellar travel. Their original plan is to travel first to Terra’s moon, but Savior Kal’tsit arrives and announces that divine will requires their first destination to be the planet known as the Holy City of Angels.
