Following the conflict against the spider, Funeral Parlor is having a campfire moment where they open up to each other's stories.
The main focus here is Ayase herself, as she tells about her past. Going from the day of Lost Christmas when her father was killed by the virus, to her and her mother's training in Australia while taking the resistance against GHQ. Ayase was a runner back in her high school, till her dreams were dashed when she lost her legs from the spider. Afterwards, most of the student body, such as Hitomi and the Hooters shunned her. Fortunately, Ayase becomes an Endlave pilot upon joining Funeral Parlor, and has befriended the people there such as Tsugumi.
It also reveals how Funeral Parlor came to first meet and save Inori from GHQ, in wondering what her origins are and Ayase warming up to the pink-hair songstress.
Tropes in this chapter:
- Campfire Character Exploration: This is the main focus of this chapter, as it brings the good of Funeral Parlor in exploring their character development that the canon anime didn't really dwell on.
- Ship Tease: There is a moment where Ayase and Heath are holding hands. Tsugumi notices this much to Ayase's denial.
