Kiharu is prompted to retreat with Kagiri in tow when Yogi goes berserk. As Tsukumo heads back when Nai senses trouble, she runs into Kiharu, only for her to be punched out cold.

Tsukumo finds herself in a room while a masquerade ball hosted by Kafka is occurring. Eliška wanders off and accidentally comes across Tsukumo, who is forced to escape after Eliška lets out a scream. After Eliška runs back to Uro, he sends her to her room while expressing disappointment towards Kagiri and Kiharu. At the Research Center, Nai and Gareki tell Akari how Yogi's allergy patch is connected to his recent behavior. It is shown that Kagiri and Kiharu managed to swipe the rattling box from the recent battle in order to give it to Uro. Akari believes that the box contained part of a Varuga, and Yogi has an allergic reaction to the air dense with Varuga elements. Tsukumo enters the greenhouse and tries to apprehend Karoku, but he uses a hidden needle in his ring to poison her.
