[The episode begins back in the present with Sensei and Arius Squad. A massive explosion shakes the foundations of the building and suddenly stops...]
Atsuko: The shaking... it stopped.
Saori: !!? What was that!?
Misaki: The storage room... where the Halo-destroying bombs were being kept.
Hiyori: Then... Then that means!
Maestro: Ah, it appears the Arius students have successfully detonated the Halo-destroying bomb they were supplied with. To be precise, Bombs in plural.
Saori: !!?
Sensei:
- "Maestro!"
- "Gematria!"
Maestro: Good evening, Sensei, you seem well. Your reputation and memories precede you. Do relax, Sensei. I have no quarrel with you or your students today. That is all Madame's actions. While I imagine you never even heard of her, your undeterred expression tells me otherwise.
Sensei:
- "..."
Maestro: Don't be so cold towards me. I do desire a positive conversation with you at this very moment. The Madame appears to be predisposed in the direction where the explosion occurred.
Sensei:
- "Why did you mass-produce the Halo-destroying bombs?"
Maestro: The bombs? I can answer that. It was requisitioned by our "benefactor" to have Golconde make several of them in advance. He pointed out the bomb would be a turning point in the story once it succeeded. I never thought the students would be so bold to detonate all of them at once, or was it an accident? Either way, what a waste. I can only guess Madame Beatrice must have ordered the students to attack the intruders while your students were forced to sacrifice their lives for the greater good.
Saori: (pained expression) No... Azusa...
Atsuko: (sad expression) ...
Hiyori: (sad expression) Is... Azusa really gone?
