Summary
As the Church reels in shock at Aldo's death, suspicion falls upon the Seven Ghosts, whom some people believe could not forgive Aldo for his crimes. Meanwhile, Teito returns to his research on the Eye of Mikhail, but is unable to find any information that is new to him. However, he stumbles across the myth of Verloren, the God of Death who was sealed by the Seven Ghosts, and has a vision of himself in a mysterious place. As Bishop Frau arrives to check on Teito, Hakuren Oak, eager to impress Frau, offers him some porn and the two instantly strike up a friendship, but Bastien appears and confiscates the porn.

Worried, Teito asks whether the Seven Ghosts would really kill Aldo and Bastien, who had been investigating the crime scene, replies that the Ghosts do not forgive evil, and that death was the only way Aldo could atone for his sins. When Teito later goes to visit Frau about his broken Baculus, he(Teito) overhears him(Frau) and Castor talking about the Eye of Mikhail, and Teito is angry with what he hears, believing they used him just like the Imperial Army had done. He flees but is pursued by Frau, who he attacks, but is quickly apprehended, and Frau explains himself. Meanwhile, as Castor mulls over the recent feeling of an evil presence, he spots a large shadow on the wall beside him, hinting that Kuroyuri and Haruse have infiltrated the Church. Castor remarks that they went to a lot of trouble to provoke him.
