At the supposedly start of a new semester, Yuji has been put to sleep by a Denizen as he encounters events from the past in a dream. When he realize he was only dreaming, the spell was broken. He awoke to see Shana destroying the Denizen, Mare, calling it "weak". However, it was not its true form. Walking towards school, Yuji questions about Shana's confession from before, but too nervous to respond.
