Summary
Following Buran's defeat, the black jewelry seems to vanish, leaving everyone but Ayanami panicked and confused. Meanwhile, Teito Klein feels relieved that Rinka and Kohaku are unhurt, explaining that if he let Mikage's family get hurt, he'd never be able to see Mikage with pride. Kohaku feels sorry and apologises to Teito for being rude earlier, and revealed he was the one who gave Mikage the scar and forced him to go to military school, as the Oak House would not accept a butler with a scarred face.

Suddenly, Teito feels another presence behind him and falls asleep. This prompts Relikt to appear, and the ghost is devoured by Ayanami. Back in the lab, the scientists use the angel Raphael to investigate Teito's mind further. Ayanami and Doctor Nanase look into Teito's mind, where Teito meets a boy inside a cage and tries to get him out. The mysterious boy tells him that only the bearer of Mikhail can read the characters to unlock the gate. Teito gets confused and disappears from his mind, waking up in the hospital room.

Teito is surprised to see Ayanami sitting beside the bed, and tells him his dream, then apologises to him. Ayanami pats Teito's head, telling him to quickly remember. Teito had a feeling somebody else patted his head like that before, but he couldn't remember. As Teito rests, Ayanami leaves and meets with the rest of the Black Hawks, and promises Kuroyuri that he will devour Fest's other arm so that he can connect her/him to Haruse completely.
