Summary
The people of District 7 look on as the two Barsburg Ribidziles crash. Teito, Frau, and Hyuuga battle to reach the Eye of Mikhail. As Teito and the Eye fall, Frau realises he cannot save both, and catches Teito, allowing Hyuuga to escape with the Eye. Labrador confronts Ayanami, and the latter explains they were taking a short-cut to Antwort. Unable to do anything, the Bishops let the military pass through without further incident.

The people investigate the Eye of God left behind by Mikhail's attack and reminisce about the similar attacks made by the Eye of Raphael during the Raggs War. Teito is reunited with Hakuren and Mikage, and has another memory of using the Eye of Mikhail when he was younger. Later, Frau tests Hakuren and Teito on their Biblical knowledge, as preparation for the exam the next day. Labrador interrupts, and brings Frau a sapling of an Evie tree, believed to be the reincarnation of Bastien. Frau accepts the gift, and says that he will plant it in the sunniest part of the courtyard.
