Ep. 5: Lena learns Shin's secret about hearing dead voices and resolves to defeat Legion Shepherds within a year.
Lena discovers Shourei saved her life during a Legion ambush that killed her father, and learns the Nouzen family immigrated from the Empire to District 1 before the war. Shin warns Lena of an impending Legion offensive and advises cutting their Para-RAID link due to Black Sheep presence, but she refuses. During the battle, Lena hears distressing voices, including Kaie's last words, causing shock. Shin explains he hears voices of the dead from Legions after a near-death experience, allowing him to predict their movements. He reveals Legions copy human brains, imprinting victims' thoughts to create superior Black Sheep and Shepherd models. The Legion is larger and more intelligent than the Republic realizes, having evolved to exceed original lifespans, making defeat inevitable. Lena resolves to destroy Legion Shepherd commanders within one year to end the war. Later, Shin reveals a neck scar from Shourei attempting to strangle him.
