Plot[edit]
CD 01[edit]
1. Prologue[edit]
At an unknown point of time, Hermann is in the process of being knighted into the U-TIC Organization. Richard calls on him to discuss their upcoming meeting with Inquisitor Pellegri. As Hermann has never met the Inquisitor himself, Richard tells him that as someone who is devoted to serve others, he will do well under her command. Richard says that, despite both of them working under the command of Pellegri, no matter how great she may be, Hermann "belongs to" him. The two then head for Pleroma.
2. The Existence Called 'chaos'[edit]
During their stay at the Kukai Foundation, Shion and the main party from the game are relaxing at its artificial beach. Shion, Allen and MOMO talk about their thoughts on the relationship between Jr. and Gaignun, which Jr. overhears and interrupts. Allen sheepishly dodges Jr.'s questions, starting a conversation about the beach they are on and how real it feels. Jr. decides to show off its weather control features, starting with a thunderstorm, which causes Shion to have an intense panic attack, due to her traumatic experiences with thunder.[note 1] As thunder strikes, Shion recalls the death of Kevin at the hands of the prototype KOS-MOS. Shion remarks on it internally, calling it an event from her past that cannot be undone, no matter how she wishes for it. As the sound of thunder fades away, Shion, back in the present, apologizes for her outburst, sheepishly saying that the group came out here to have fun and she should relax more. chaos attempts to reassure Shion, telling her that while it is impossible to change the past, she should not try and forget it. He encourages her to reflect on it whenever she does remember so that she can get to know it better. He says that by knowing your pain accurately, living becomes that smallest bit easier.
Allen invites Shion to his quarters for tea, which allows her to calm down from her panic attack.
