Ep. 15: The group returns to Belkend with measurements revealing Sephiroth tree weakness

The group returns to Belkend with measurements indicating Sephiroth trees have weakened, threatening to pull the land into the Qliphoth. Jade proposes using the Tartarus to drop a vibration-stopping device into the core, allowing safe descent into the miasma. Luke urges King Ingobert and Emperor Peony to cooperate, while Natalia hesitates to return to Baticul. That night, Asch meets Natalia at the coast, renewing their childhood promise to change their country, which gives her courage. Tear expresses regret over separating Asch and Natalia, but reminds Luke of his own life. The group enters Baticul via Ion, where Natalia pleads with her father to stop the war. Despite Mohs' interference, Ingobert acknowledges Natalia as his daughter and agrees to the peace treaty with Malkuth. The treaty is signed in Yulia City, but Guy interrupts to question Ingobert about Hod. Peony reveals Malkuth destroyed Hod using Van, a test subject who caused hyperresonance at age 11 to hide Kimlasca’s research.
