In the aftermath of the battle against Dark Falz Elder, ARKS is mourning the people that have fallen in combat. Ash and Echo are called by Casra, who survived his meeting with Elder, but tells them that Zeno is still missing. Putting on a brave face, Echo assures the two that Zeno will be fine and will return but breaks down when she is alone, not sure herself if he will come back. Ash is approached by Sarah but their reunion is cut short when Ash sees Matoi chasing Melfonseana, who ran away. He follows Melfonseana to Naverius where she tells him what she remembers about the incident from ten years ago.
