In the real world, Ryou Misaki meets with Saeki to ask her for a job at NAB in order to find Ovan´s consciousness inside The World using their resources. After insisting for a while, she accepts.

After working for sometime at NAB, Ryou calls Chigusa to cancel their date, since he´s busy with work and seminaries. Ryou opens up about all his preoccupations and reflects upon becoming a more mature person.

While at work, Ryou and Saeki watch the news. CyberConnect Corporation decided to end service for R:2 at years end. This enrages Ryou, but Saeki asks him to calm down and go home to rest.

In The World, a group of AIDA reunites to debate whether they should befriend humanity or not. Out of the 13 AIDAs invited, only 10 show up (excluding Inid, Lot 9 and AIKA), with Kusabira being the last to arrive. Yoshida (26) presides the reunion along with his assistant, Nanai, but the other AIDAs become enraged when arriving at the topic of Haseo´s possible return to The World, suggesting to eliminate him. Kusabira opposes this idea, prompting Yoshida (26) to propose waiting until Haseo frees Ovan to decide if they should or not ally themselves with humankind. The AIDAs agree upon these terms. Afterwards, Kusabira highlights the Lost Ground where Ovan is so that Haseo will notice it.

After hearing that Saeki found Ovan, Ryou rushes to work, slamming the door. Saeki pleads to Ryou to calm down, but he refuses to stand still and wait with little time remaining to act. Kusabira senses Haseo logging in as he reflects on the events that lead him to this point.
