Ep. 22: Akiha and Itsuki escape Nervalists while Honoka kidnaps Fon and the group rescues traumatized box humans from a disposal factory.

22

After Itsuki rescues Akiha, their student council ship is chased by Nervalists and hides in Kirkwood. The UURE, controlling the moon, plans an attack, but Nerval freezes the entire moon, interrupting their scheme. On Earth, Honoka forces Fon to accompany her by hitting him with a bowling pin. Akiha struggles with Imo-chan's absence as she, Itsuki, and the council discover a box human factory. They meet a Shishido elder who guides them to a disposal site where they rescue people pretending to be dead, hiding them in Kirkwood. Many survivors remain traumatized and desire their boxes. Xanthippe attacks to stop their escape, but Benkei intervenes by ramming her. Encouraged by Tsutsuji, Benkei aids the rebels alongside Takane, who has broken free from Nerval's control. Benkei transports everyone to the Innsmouth Reef, where they encounter Leopard.
