8

Haruto awakens in an alternate reality generated by Asahi's Prophet Art, having survived a six-year coma where his character died instead of Asahi's. Elicia explains that Senses function in the real world and that Union serves as a Gnosis training ground to develop the ultimate Sense. After sending Asahi back to the moment before Clive stabbed him, Haruto identifies the fake Clive as Simon, a Gnosis member who merges with Aegir to attack. Alwida arrives as the real Clive, and together they help Haruto retrieve a sword to defeat Aegir. Following the battle, the party experiences a vision from a red stone fragment, learning that Elicia attempted to lock her Sense, causing the containing stone to shatter.
