Tamaki recalls the battle at the second seal ground at school. She crosses paths with Ryou at school, angry at her first uncomfortable encounter with him. Ryou leaves when Kiyona arrives, and Kiyona tells Tamaki that Ryou is a delinquent who was suspended from school in the past. On the school roof, Tamaki finds her Guardians, but Takuma and Mahiro are mad at her for letting Aria take the Mirror after the Logos defeated them, which sends her into depression. After school, Yuuichi tells her that the Guardians are tools and not humans, which is something Tamaki disagrees with. The next day on the school roof, she suggests that Takuma and Mahiro stop patrolling the seals since they see themselves as expendables. Shinji volunteers himself to find out where the Logos are hiding, while Yuuichi chooses to check the library for archives containing information about every organization. Meanwhile, Vier gives Aria evidence that Drei is actually a replacement for the original one who died before, thereby questioning his loyalties to Logos. Aria orders Vier to put Drei under house arrest for the time being. Ashiya arrives at the shrine to speak with Shizuki, though Suguru senses an ulterior motive.
