At the courtyard, Atsuko reluctantly accepts her fate and grabs Kenzo's hand. Kenzo's sullen expression transforms into one of pure delight as he gently removes the necklace from Atsuko's neck. The necklace, which features half of an angel wing charm, is losing its glow and has lost its power. With minimal effort, Kenzo crushes the charm with his bare hands, announcing, "Finally, you have come to your senses, my dear."
Atsuko smiles sweetly, and her eyes, which were previously azure, have now changed to pitch red, resembling the strange sky above. She has surrendered to Kenzo's desires, wanting to remain with him because he has brought her happiness. A small part of her screams, wishing she had refused, but Kenzo's will destroys that small part like a gust of wind extinguishing a candle's flame.
"We should celebrate. I will throw a huge feast and invite everyone who lives in the land of Caspien." Kenzo announces, holding Atsuko close. He leads her back inside the castle. Behind them, a transparent Leonarda watches, knowing that she is too late. She wears a sad smile, realizing that Astuko is to blame, not her.
Hideo and Ms. Lia are dining at a table filled with small desserts and fine wine. Ms. Lia is helping herself to most of the sweets. She knows something sinister is about to happen and thinks to herself, 'I must relish all of this one last time.'
"Go and help yourself to some food and refreshments darling." Kenzo insists to Atsuko who listens and goes to eat something. Hideo walks over to Kenzo who wears his signature smirk.
Kenzo begins to talk with Hideo, "Atsuko is so special to me. She won't be added to my collection."
"Then what are you going to do with her?" Hideo asks, being curious, "Will you turn Atsuko into a half Daten-shi?"
Instead of nodding, Kenzo gives Hideo a strange and amazing look. Hideo catches on and gasps, "Wait so she's going to become your actual wife?"
Kenzo nods and gazes at Atsuko, planning to make her all his and be super protective. He loves Atsuko, but he loves her more for her luminescence, as it makes him more powerful. To him, Atsuko is like a walking infinite supply of energy that he can harness.
Ms.Lia glances at Atsuko, her body ends up freezing and staying still in place. It's the same for Atsuko as she wonders why she can no longer move. The lights in the ballroom turn off and the air in the room becomes cold. The ballroom music fades away, leaving the two girls to question what's going on.
Kenzo and Hideo transform into their real physical bodies, no longer appearing to be charming young men yet rather full Daten-shi.
"Ladies, before the big feast, we must fix you both." Kenzo informs, his voice is spine chilling. He stands in front of Atsuko, smirking.
Hideo is quiet and stands in front of Ms.Lia. Without mercy, he says a single word in a different language and this causes Ms.Lia's body to bend and crack in an unnatural way. Blood leaks from her eyes, ears, and nose before her entire body disappears.
Ms.Lia didn't even scream. She's used to this. It recurs over and over again. Hideo enjoys tormenting her.
Atsuko is so scared but her emotions are also full of fake happiness and excitement. Kenzo goes easy on his Lovely Paragon, closing her eyes. Atsuko drifts off into unwanted sleep but she also feels slight pain all over her body before losing consciousness.
