As Gourai becomes paranoid over Hresvelgr's threats, Ao visits Hresvelgr at her laboratory to try and understand why she wants to battle against Gourai. Later, Ao and Bukiko go to a public bath while the F.A. Girls go to their own virtual public bath via their Session Bases. Afterwards, Hresvelgr appears in a frightening upgraded form, Hresvelgr-Ater, to once again face Gourai, notably lacking the joy of battles she had previously shown. However, Hresvelgr's upgrades start to overflow, causing her to go berserk.
