Over there!

Don't let them get away!

It's a dead end! What about the other way?

There are no exits. We're completely surrounded.

Ugh...

Arius Student A

Surrender, Squad. You've run out of options.

Hiyori

I'm gonna c-cry...!

Atsuko

*inhale* (sign language) *exhale*

Misaki

We're low on ammo and we're nearly eighty hours into this fight. Everyone is at their limit.

And Leader is too badly injured. Every minute we dawdle is a risk to her life.

Saori

...No, we still have a last resort. Take a look at this.

Hiyori

Y-Y-You can't be serious, Saori!

Misaki

The halo-destroying bomb...

Saori

Misaki, Hiyori. I'm going to distract them. I want you to get Hime out of here.

Atsuko

...Saori.

Saori

Escape with her...and after that...

After that...

Atsuko

Saori.

Saori

Hime?!

Atsuko

You've all worked so hard. Thank you.

Hiyori

Hime... I-I don't like this...

Atsuko

You there. Your master is only after me, correct?

I will come quietly. But let the others go.

Arius Student A

...

Saori

Atsuko?! What are you saying? Don't do this!

Atsuko

Saori, we've reached the end of the road.

Say we do find some way to escape. What then? Where will we run?

Saori

I'll find somewhere, anywhere. I can protect you, Atsuko!

Atsuko

With Trinity, Gehenna, and Arius all after our blood?

Nowhere is safe, Saori. There will be no rest for the four of us.

Saori. Misaki. Hiyori. I hold all the blame here.

So, please. Let me hold the responsibility as well.

Hiyori

Hime... I-I don't like this...

Misaki

...Hime.

Saori

No! She'll kill you, Atsuko! Do you hear me? You're dead the moment you arrive!

Atsuko

And that's my decision to make. Saori, for the first time, I'm making my own choices. Please.

Promise me you'll free the others, and I'll come with you.

Arius Student A

...

I will ask Madame for her decision.

???

(static) Hmm.

(static) ...I see. You have my word.

Atsuko

Swear on your name.

???

(static) My name? Why would I do that?

Atsuko

Swear on your name you will not harm them.

???

(static) ...I swear on my name, Beatrice, visionary of all pilgrims.

Atsuko

Okay. Then, I surrender.

Arius Student B

Mask on, Hime. Madame's orders. It shouldn't have been off to begin with.

Beatrice

(static) Deliver her to me without so much as a scratch. The ritual begins at sunrise tomorrow.

Atsuko

Everyone... Saori. Take care of yourselves. This is goodbye.

Misaki

Hime...

Hiyori

Oh no...

Saori

Atsuko... No... Come back...!

I have to protect you...

If I can't...! If you disappear...!

What would I do?

What do I do without you, Atsuko?

What the hell have I been doing all this time?

Is there anything for me...to live for?

Arius Student A

(static) ...The rest of the squad, ma'am?

Beatrice

(static) Erase them.

Arius Student A

Understood.

Fire at will.
