In this chapter, we learn that the barjack chronicle has published a collection of photographs taken by young koyomi, who has been working as a freelance photographer for the past five years. She is now 18 years old and has just completed her first project, a history of "the forgotten late heroine, alita" . She tells us that her next project will be a story of alita. We learn that alita has promised to return, and that she is alive and well out in the open somewhere. She has written a message on the wall, which contains her genetic information.
