Following the crash of their shuttle, Mikumo, Makina, and Reina hide in the forest to evade detection by Windermerean forces. Freyja leads Hayate and Mirage to her village while Arad and Kaname enter an abandoned NUNS garrison. Mikumo is captured by Roid, who calls her the Star Singer. Hayate, Freyja, and Mirage are cornered by the Aerial Knights, who confront Hayate over Wright's apparent crimes and Freyja over her betrayal. They are brought to the site of the dimensional explosion and then to Wright's plane, restored in the castle as a constant reminder.
