Synopsis

Faceless invades Masaru's consciousness, but finds Masaru there who asks Faceless questions about Aqua Vitae. Masaru then reveals that he has regained control of his body because he drank some of Éléonore's blood. Because she is the host of the soft stone, he now has superior recuperative powers and was able to resist Faceless' memory download which his body saw as a disease. Meanwhile outside, Colombine fights the new Diamantina automaton which looks like "Goldilocks" and can generate an unlimited number of teddy bears with sharp teeth and claws. The countdown to launch continues and in desperation, Masaru dismantles Éléonore to free her from the chains that bind her. As the rocket launches, Masaru and Éléonore manage to exit the command capsule, leaving Faceless travelling alone into space. Colombine uses her remaining powers to create a soft landing just before she is engulfed in a fiery explosion. Narumi arrives at Mont Saint-Michel in the Long-legged Clown Express train and meets Arlequino who hands him the unconscious Lise. Meanwhile, Masaru finds the remains of Colombine after she was caught in the explosion and decimated by the Diamantina automaton. She is happy to be held by Masaru as he embraces her and sheds tears for the sacrifice she made.
