Silva and Neige were both looking at the engineer after giving her Remiel's body. She looked a bit worried a quickly stood up and turned toward the two friends.

"I could put her back in her body, it will take an hour or so."

"Good, we should go find Ina now." Neige said with confidence "I'm sure she'll be easy to convince, she does have the Goddess of Death to wake her up."

"Oh, that's true. It's possible that she managed to resist Polyetta's control."

~Her... Can't we skip her for now?~ Ada asked in a frightened voice ~What if she forgot about me and tries to kill me?~

"It can't happen, I promise."

Neige tried to comfort the voice inside him but instead worried Emely, who looked at him with confusion.

"She can't resist the leader's control? Are you sure?"

"I wasn't talking to you... Anyway, we should hurry now. Only Gwyn and Cinnamon are left, we'll be able to take care of the leader after that."

"Okay, I'll fix Remiel then. I hope you save Ina and the others soon, it's really creepy to see the ship in this state."

"We will, by the way, have you seen Sepide?"

"I haven't, I suppose she's still trying to recover her memories."

Sepide continued looking at the content of the box, curious to know what she'd find next. She found some wool inside it, she thought it wasn't something special but remembered her mission with Silva and Remiel in the world full of toys. Now that she thought about it, it was her first mission with Remiel. She couldn't believe how much she had forgotten because of her own creator. Sepide continued searching at the inside of the box, hoping to find more lost memories. A key was lying at the bottom, it was the one they used with Remiel to save their leader from her cell. The man who sealed her was a religious trying to control everyone for peace, it wasn't much different from what Polyetta was doing in a way. After looking a bit more, Sepide found a baseball. They were fighting against Silv, but it somehow was a pleasant experience. She managed to prove her superiority to Remiel in a way and even managed to help the team win. Sepide was wondering why the leader was trying so hard to change the world, it didn't seem like her life was horrible. Her thoughts quickly changed once she found a key card in the box. Kairo's name was on it, she never knew him much, but she knew how much her friends cared for him. They all had to kill him in the end, bringing sorrow to everyone. But even despite this event, Sepide could clearly remember that they still kept going. Their lives still continued, and they all tried their best to make it worth it.

Silva and Neige made their way to the world Ina was in. It was all very similar to her home world, without anything out of the ordinary in sight. Right in front of them was an orphanage, Neige already knew this was the one Ina was in in her childhood. Not without any worries, Neige opened the door and entered inside. The first thing he saw was Ina, taking care of the children there. When she noticed them, the woman smiled brightly and waved at him before kneeling to the kids' height.

"Look, it's Silva and Neige, why don't you go say hello?"

Before they could react, Silva and Neige were surrounded by children all around. Ina slowly walked toward them, still wearing her peaceful smile on her face.

"You took your time, but I'm not going to complain... It was nice being around children again."

"Wait, you're not brainwashed at all?" Silva asked with disbelief.

"It seems like it, I did feel hazy for a moment, but I managed to regain consciousness eventually. The leader explained everything to me when she noticed I wasn't under her control."

"Really? At least it makes it easier for us, but she still let you like that and did nothing to stop you?"

"Yes, I told her I wouldn't cause problems and just wanted to live peacefully here and she was satisfied. Of course, I know this isn't the way I want to live my life, I also knew you'd come eventually. Polyetta disabled my watch, but I knew you wouldn't let that stop you."

"She disabled it?" Neige said, thinking out loud "Now that I think about it, Emely updated Sepide and our watches so we wouldn't need to rely on the book anymore. Maybe only ours works now."

"I see, you'll have to do most of the job again I suppose. I'm sorry that the fate of the universe is once again on your shoulders." Ina looked on the side, a bit saddened. She then glanced at Neige and a soft smile appeared on her face "But still, I wasn't expecting you to dress like that. Everyone will remember the day Neige the nun saved us."

"I-I'm not a nun! I wish I could remove this stupid uniform, but it's the only thing that allows us to find everyone..."

~It's not stupid!~ Ada yelled at Neige ~These are very cute and practical clothes. I thought you'd agree with that...~

"We'll discuss the technicality later, we should go now."

Ina nodded her head before turning toward the children around Neige and Silva.

"Come on now, I'll have to go, be nice and wait in your rooms, alright?"

All the kids nodded and ran into the orphanage with smiles on their faces. Ina took a moment to look at them going, she still had her smile on her face, but this time sorrow filled her eyes.

"Let's hurry, if we don't, there might be nothing left to save."

The woman went toward Neige but stopped when she suddenly heard a voice calling her behind her. Polyetta was standing there, looking at Ina with disappointment.

"Ina... Are you already leaving? You didn't tell the kids their stories yet, how will they be able to sleep without it?"

Ina put her hand on her chest, facing her former leader without fear.

"They will manage to sleep, I'm sure. I have a family to get to now, I'm no longer this lonely orphan, waiting for the day when I can be useful."

"I see... You're like everyone else. Then so be it, even if I have to be alone, I'll save everyone. You'll all find peace, free from all the responsibilities you had."

"Leader... I can see you're honest, but this is going against our ideals. Weren't we supposed to protect the universe and keep it stable?"

"What good is there in a universe that needs help staying afloat? I'll just create a new one that cannot sink. However, there have been a few changes in my plans, I didn't think you would be able to take everyone away from me."

"We're not taking them away from you, we're taking them back where they belong!"

Silva took her firearm in hand, ready to face the woman. Before anyone could do anything, Polyetta disappeared in a flash of light. Silva knew she was already gone and instead turned toward Neige, still disappointed she couldn't stop the woman.

"So, only Gwyn and Cinnamon are left?"

"Yeah, I can tell where Gwyn is, but I have no idea where's the cat. I think we'll have to pass on him for now."

"How horrible!" Ina said with horror "Don't tell me the leader got rid of him..."

"I don't think so... Either way, we'll be able to bring everything back to normal. Just a little more, we're almost there."

Ina nodded at Neige and went next to her two friends. She knew it wouldn't be easy, but she was determined to do her best to help everyone stop their former leader.
