Hayate, Freyja, and Mirage are sentenced to execution at a summary trial before King Heinz. He was moved by the warmth of her singing, but Freyja found an emptiness in his. Roid brings Mikumo to the sealed Sanctum; he sees her as the reincarnation of the Star Singer, created with something which had been stolen from the Sanctum seven years ago. Berger brings Arad, Kaname, Makina, and Reina to Wright's plane, which they use to interrupt the execution outside. They resume their mission to destroy the Protoculture ruins. Makina is shot by a sniper while protecting Freyja, and Walküre's continued singing opens a fold point for Chaos reinforcements. However, Roid awakens Mikumo's power, which further expands the Protoculture structure and forces Chaos to withdraw. Freyja shows signs of aging.
