Back in the present, we find ourselves in the middle of a battle between the two kingdoms of symphonia and taloneni. We're told that the rift between the past and the future has been repaired, and that the forces of the past will be pushed back to the present. We also learn that shiba's time has been reduced to light speed, creating a "transcendent state" in which time flows unlimitedly. Time flows differently in this era, according to Chaos Theory, because time flows at a slower rate than it did in the past. This means that time flows in a different way. The rift will be slowly pulled back toward the past, which is why the forces have been pushed back so far. We learn that this is the same time that haru and resha were in their present time. They're also in the same era, which means that they're both in the future. The two of them decide to meet up with haru, but they don't want to go too far back in time to meet him in his present time, since that would be dangerous. They also decide to stay away from anyone who might be able to help them in this time period, since it's so dangerous. We find out that the two men are in the midst of a war, which seems to be going on all around them. They wonder if the other forces are worried about what's going on, and they wonder if there's anything they can do to stop it. They decide to stop calling each other "lady resha" and "lady valentine" , since they've both been in the water for so long that they haven't been able to get out of it yet. The men decide to take care of some business,
