This chapter opens with a soliloquy by Sora-san, in which she laments the fact that she and her twin sister have been tricked into believing that Agito is in Japan, when he is not. She feels that she has been deceived by her twin sisters, who have lied to her about their whereabouts. She believes that they are lying to her, but she is shocked when she realizes that the twins are not the only twins riding on the jade road, but the rider of the sleeping forest. She also realizes that they must be connected to the keywords "sleeper forest" and "sleeping forest" because they are both related to "the keywords" of "the jade road" . She concludes that the battle that took place on the day of the battle has not yet been won, and that the two powers are still at war. She resolves to remain neutral between them and to choose her own path.
