Summary
Teito wakes up in the Hohburg Fortress infirmary and wonders where he is. Katsuragi, who is sitting nearby and reading a book, greets him, and the other Black Hawks (except Ayanami) come in. Teito learns that he has been made Ayanami's begleiter but, since his memories have been erased, has forgotten who Ayanami is, to the Black Hawks' shock.

A short while later, Teito is discharged from the infirmary and reports to Ayanami, who assigns him begleiter duties. As Teito turns to leave, Ayanami points his sword at him, and Teito asks if anything is wrong. Ayanami replies that there isn't, lowers his sword and dismisses Teito.

Meanwhile, Frau's unconscious body has been found by three beggars: Barm, Moz and Ryuu. They check for a pulse, and, finding none, assume that he is dead. While they are performing a burial ceremony, Frau unexpectedly regains consciousness and sits up, frightening them. When they have recovered from their initial fright, Ryuu calls for his younger sister, Nene, and asks her to get some water for Frau. In his exhausted state, Frau mistakes Nene for Teito and apologises when he realises his mistake. Ryuu, thinking that Frau intends to harm Nene, tries to attack him. Barm restrains Ryuu and apologises to Frau as Nene and Moz give Frau the water.

Back in Hohburg Fortress, Teito begins his begleiter duties.
