Maka succumbs to madness, overpowering Crona while synchronizing their soul wavelengths to perceive his true intentions. She identifies that Crona's insanity stems from childhood neglect under Medusa, which led him to isolate himself from others. This deep connection disrupts Crona's soul, prompting Soul to rescue Maka from her deranged state.
