Mike: "Alan,

"Joel?!!?"

Eren: "Who's that?"

Mike: "Wait!"

Mike turns to Alan, realizing something crucial.

Mike: "Alan! That was your full name?!"

Alan, too weak to respond, collapses to the ground.

Kartik, filled with frustration and sorrow, clenches his fist and shouts.

Kartik: "CRIMSONS LOST!"

He walks away with his members, his voice echoing in anger.

Kartik: "BECAUSE HEAVENLYS FOUGHT UNFAIR!"

Muzan smirks, observing Alan's weakened state.

Muzan thinks,

"Looks like your game is about to start, brat."

[ PeakWest 2 ]

Muzan: "We have won!!!"

"So how about we have a party tonight!!"

The Heavenlys look at Muzan with dissatisfaction.

Mike: "We don't want the party."

"We didn’t expect the war to take lives."

Muzan: "Oh, come on! Be spiritual!"

"You won your first war!!!"

Mike: "Later."

Muzan: "Bruh... fine,"

"but sooner or later,"

"invite us to your castle for the 'party.'"

Mike: "Okay."

Muzan, Akshat, and Zakura leave for their castle.

Ace arrives and helps lift Alan, who is injured.

Mike: "Leave him, Ace."

"I'll carry him."

Ace: "It's okay—"

Mike: "He considers me his best friend."

"Let me."

Ace: "Uh—okay."

Mike carries Alan to the Heavenlys Castle.

[Heavenlys Castle - Treatment Hall]

Alan opens his eyes, noticing his body is bandaged. Mike sits nearby, guiding him.

Mike: "Don’t strain yourself,"

"Alan."

Alan: "Huh?"

"Why am I here?"

"What happened to the war?"

"Did Crimsons win..."

Mike: "We won."

Alan’s eyes widen in disbelief.

Alan: "What?!"

Mike hesitates, unsure of how much to reveal.

Alan: "How??"

Alan senses Mike is withholding something.

Alan: "Mike..."

Mike snaps back to reality.

Mike: "Uh, what?"

Alan: "You hiding something from me?"

Mike: "No, what the hell?"

Alan: "Okay."

Mike: "Stay here and rest."

"You can remove the bandages from your legs and neck,"

"but don’t take off the ones on your hands."

"You have a slight fracture."

Alan: "Oh..."

"man..."

Mike: "Don’t strain yourself."

"Take care."

"If you need anything, ring the bell."

Alan: "Thank you."

Mike leaves the room.

Alan’s expression turns pensive and solemn.

Alan thinks, "I’m sorry, Mike."

"I remember everything."

"But I need to hide what Kartik said."

"I’m sorry I had to act."*

[Crimsons Castle - Leaders Room]

Aarush: "THIS IS THE REASON I TOLD YOU NOT TO HAVE A WAR!"

Moon: "Aaru—"

Aarush: "JUST SHUT UP!"

Moon flinches at Aarush's anger.

Kartik: "Aarush, calm down."

Aarush: "JACK LOST BOTH HIS ARMS."

"WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO CALL ME FOR TO STAY CALM?!"

Kartik: "..."

Aarush: "I’m so done."

"I shouldn’t have come here."

"This is all my fault."

Kartik: "Enough, Aarush."

"What’s done is done."

"Please save Jack."

Aarush: "I’M TRYING!"

"He’s lost a huge amount of blood."

"It’ll feel weird for him to have both arms artificial!"

Kartik: "At least please save him."

Aarush: "Promise me, Kartik"

"you won’t have a war ever again."

Kartik: "Aarus—"

Aarush: "PROMISE!"

Kartik sighs deeply.

Kartik: "I promise."

"But I will take revenge for Jack."

Aarush sighs, resigned.

Aarush: "You’re never going to change,"

"are you."

Kartik: "Stay out of this."

"I know what to do."

[Heavenlys Castle - Members Room]

Mike, Eren, and the rest of the Heavenlys gather, their faces marked by despair.

Mike’s eyes are filled with worry.
