8

Mitsuki and UN forces locate only Kazuki’s damaged core robot after his pilot suit is destroyed. Kazuki survives and wakes up behind enemy lines, where Miss Ra, who resembles Mitsuki, takes charge of his recovery. He observes her shift from a harsh demeanor to a gentle personality. Identified as Mitsuki Rara, she shows interest in Kazuki, who wishes to return to EDF territory to avoid her mother Ayuko, a figure more malevolent than her husband. Ayuko eventually uncovers Kazuki’s true allegiance through footage of him leaving Hartzenen. Despite learning that Kazuki is an EDF Core Robot pilot, Mitsuki assists him in escaping.
