Division 1 welcomes the new Shinohara AV-Zero Labor, impressing peers like Ohta and Gomika with its neural network debris dodging. Meanwhile, Division 2 stops a rampaging Labor in a shopping mall car park, avoiding major damage but scratching a VIP's vehicle. This incident prompts a complaint to the Police Chief, raising concerns among Division 2 members about potential SV2 reorganization. Noa becomes deeply upset by the criticism and retreats into Alphonse's cockpit, isolating herself from the team's discussion regarding the aftermath of the engagement.
