"Even if you save Atsuko, your future will be filled with suffering."

"You'll be chased for the rest your life, wandering through dirty back alleys, living a cold, hungry, miserable life."

"But if despite that..."

"If, despite all that, you truly believe you can find happiness in your future..."

Following the chaos of the Eden Treaty incident, the Arius Squad is pushed into a desperate struggle for survival. Abandoned by Arius itself and hunted by their former comrades, Saori, Misaki, Hiyori, and Atsuko are left with nowhere to go. The chapter turns its attention toward the forgotten history between Trinity and Arius, revealing how years of hatred and manipulation have shaped the lives of the students caught in the middle.

Atsuko eventually becomes the target of Beatrice, who intends to use her as a sacrificial offering in a ritual. Believing Atsuko's lineage to be the key to completing her plans and summoning a mysterious entity capable of granting her greater power, Beatrice has Atsuko restrained at the altar as the ceremony begins. Sensei and the Arius Squad rush to stop the ritual and rescue her.

The confrontation culminates in Beatrice transforming into a monstrous form.

The battle becomes a massive confrontation involving Arius forces, the Arius Squad, Mika, and Sensei. Mika takes on Beatrice's forces while Sensei and the Squad push toward the Basilica. Eventually, Beatrice completes her transformation and attempts to ascend beyond her ordinary existence.

But her newfound power is not enough.

Sensei and the others manage to defeat her, and Atsuko is successfully rescued. The Arius Squad then escapes, finally breaking free from the immediate threat of Beatrice and the forces that had treated them as disposable pawns.
