Ep. 1: Lena secures resources while Shin adjusts to life under Federacy protection after waking from a dream.

Weeks after Shin and his friends vanished, Lena lost her Spearhead command but remains the military’s top Handler. She leverages this status to gain resources for her conventional 86 unit under Cyclops and secure loyal officers. Meanwhile, Shin awakens from a dying dream to find himself and his companions in the custody of the Federacy of Giad, the successor state to the toppled Empire of Giad. Ernst Zimerman, the provisional president, reveals they were rescued from Legion custody and promises guest treatment. After a month of isolation, Ernst grants them citizenship and allows them to reside in his home, where they meet Frederica Rosenfort. Following dinner, they retire for the night. Ernst questions his actions, revealing Frederica is the former Empress. Shin is troubled when Ernst returns a tag he carved in Shourei’s memory.
