Chance Encounter A starry sky with a comet flying across it and the sound of it striking the ground can be heard. Out of it rises a giant black knight looking figure in wielding a giant black lance. Ayano is then shown before speaking the word "Fiarem" as she gazes upon hundreds of these comets striking the ground, causing massive destruction. A comet then lands a few meters in front of her causing an explosion and a pendant above her ear to start glowing. She turns around to talks to an unseen figure, stating that they will meet again and that they can become one. |

The Sleep-inducing Kotatsu The command room receives a report that a Fiarem has been spotted. In response, Rio orders the observer to contact Ayano. It then cuts to Ayano, who is half-asleep underneath her kotatsu, much to Rio's shock. Her feet are outside of the kotatsu, making her cold, so she tucks her feet in, but this makes her too hot. She then precedes to remove her socks which, according to her, "feels good". The observer reports to the clearly agitated Rio that she has fallen asleep. |
