The members of the Amakusa gather in a nearby hospital, where they lick their wounds after their swift defeat against Acqua of the Back. Meanwhile, Index worriedly looks over Touma as he goes through the ordeal, and the sight worsens Tatemiya Saiji's feeling of helplessness. Itsuwa is most devastated by what happened, but Saiji was enraged at Itsuwa's disillusionment, seeing it as ironic considering that she was supposed to protect Touma but was rescued by him instead. There, Saiji pushes Itsuwa to deal with their defeat and fight on for Touma's sake and sent the same message to the members of the Amakusa. Although still devastated, Itsuwa joins her comrades as they decide to face Acqua of the Back once again.
