Inside De Ornielle’s mansion, everyone but Tabitha is fast asleep. Moving without a sound, she kisses Saito on the cheek before departing. Stirred by the closing of the door, Saito manages to find and stop her departure. Tabitha explains that she is departing for Gallia, but couldn’t bring herself to say goodbye. Shyly, she describes how Saito makes her hesitate, but their conversation is cut short by Bleu , Jeanette, and Jack, admitting they are here to kill him, fighting soon breaks out in the courtyard. Meanwhile a trio of Elves lurks in the forest waiting cautiously, making sure not to be seen by any humans.
