In the meantime, at Star Harmony world's Indonesia...

Love Me Tear is currently paying the still-unconscious Rise a visit at the hospital where she's undergoing treatment. They are being accompanied by Ivan, Naliputra, and Wendy. Karen takes a look at the heart rate indicator, showing that Rise's heartbeat appears to be normal albeit a little slow due to her being immobile.

Karen: "So, she still hasn't regained consciousness despite her stabilizing condition..."

Ivan: "Unfortunately, yes. Even though the treatment was successful, we have no idea as to when she's going to wake up."

Wendy: "Still, about that so-called punishment from God..."

Mirai: "There's no use believing it was a punishment. Despite the timing, it was just an unfortunate accident, simple as that."

Naliputra: "Anyway, you two, what are we going to do with our anti-bullying movement? Even with mental health care organizations backing us up, still not enough people have been properly informed about these matters."

Ivan: "Especially because not only they are afraid of being called out for violating human rights, but also going against Christian teachings."

Wendy: "Yes. These people fear being punished for saving victims of bullying and also attempting to stop the bullies from continuing their evil acts. And, as you mentioned, this seems to affect Christians the most."

Ivan: "That is why I feared that my teachers' prayers must have been answered. I mean, look at what happened to us."

Karen: "We have to increase our efforts on convincing everyone... that saving people from bullying is not a bad thing to do. If you think logically, rationally, and with open minds, religious teachings are not meant to stop its believers from doing, err... the right thing."

Mirai: "Members of our movement have to be informed right away. I hope they aren't too demoralized by that accident."

Ivan: "Right. We do have some Christian members, so they need to be convinced and make them feel less burdened with dilemma."

Karen: "To be frank, I should've brought El-chan along because she's possibly the most open-minded religious person I've ever known. She can probably speak up in behalf of our Christian members."

Ivan: "Ah, you're right. I think her religious belief is just as Christian as ours, even though we don't know exactly how her original religion was like back in her home world."

Mirai: "If we bring El-chan along, however, Dinah will be without backup for the unified world incursion. I hate to say it, but we have to figure things out on our own right now."

Wendy: "That is unfortunate..."

Naliputra: "Can't be helped. Anyway, we'll gather the members of our movement in a designated place for a meeting. I'll get things ready ASAP."

Karen: "Please do. Also, I'll try asking Coco-chan to see how her restoration of the interdimensional transmission is going. Who knows if we can have El-chan remotely join this meeting."

Mirai: "Ah, you should've told us sooner."

Naliputra takes his phone and begins calling one of the movement's members to inform them about the meeting, while Karen also takes her phone to ask Coco about the interdimensional transmission.
