The soldiers discuss the desertion of Enobaruchi and rave master's final light. They wonder if elie is still working on the rave master, and they wonder if musica's body is holding up, for she has been away from home for three days. The soldiers wonder if they are surprised that elie and Resha are alike, for they have never met each other before. They decide to go on ahead, and the soldiers ask what they plan to do with their old sword. Enobarachi says he will not use it anymore, for he has been through so much with it, and he will use it only to fight for his friend, and not for himself. He tells them to be careful, for "something" is sucking out of him. He says he can't remember what it is, but he knows that it is the "king of oblivion" trying to wipe out all the memories of the world.
