After watching Mei’s departure, Kiana and her friends vowed to face future dangers together, but Bronya questioned how Kiana had become a Herrscher and suspected a conspiracy.

• Mei and Kiana rejected the idea of undergoing the dangerous procedure, with Kiana saying she would train Butterfly Fire Spreads instead.

• Mei called for the spy to be exposed, then realized that her own ties to Anti-Entropy made her a suspect; Kiana said she trusted Mei because she cooked for them.

• Theresa and Himeko asked Fu Hua why Otto had sent her to St. Freya, but Fu Hua said it was better for everyone not to know yet.

Fu Hua’s secret mission and Kiana’s identity were exposed by the quiz, revealing that Otto had sent Fu Hua to monitor K423, a clone made with Kiana’s genes and the Herrscher of the Void’s core. Though Kiana was devastated, Mei and the others stayed by her side, and Fu Hua began explaining the truth while Otto’s exact purpose remained uncertain.

• Fu Hua admitted that Otto’s mission was connected to Kiana becoming the Herrscher of the Void and urged Kiana to grow strong enough to reach S-rank.

• Kiana collapsed in despair after learning she was a Herrscher vessel rather than the daughter of Siegfried and Cecilia, while Mei comforted her and promised not to leave her alone.
• Kiana recovered enough to ask Fu Hua for the full truth, and Fu Hua explained that Otto had created her as a clone using Kiana’s genes and the Herrscher of the Void’s core.
• Fu Hua said Otto had ordered her to monitor Kiana, but she did not know his exact purpose and could only speculate that he intended to awaken the Second Herrscher.

Bronya watched herself defeat a Honkai Beast with Heavy Machinery Rabbit, then guessed incorrectly in a quiz about who would revoke her driver’s license and was punished by having Heavy Machinery Rabbit paralyzed for a month. The next scene showed Kevin meeting Bronya and Seele, explaining that he recognized their commitment to fighting Honkai, while Bronya stood ready to protect Seele.

• Bronya raced Heavy Machinery Rabbit through the Honkai Beast’s attacks, pierced it, and destroyed its remains with the Keys of Truth.
• Eden returned to Death Space after her twenty-four-hour visit to Fire Moth Base ended and said her plan to take control or fracture the council was not progressing quickly.
