Ep. 19: Luke and allies confront Anise and Mohs at the Sephiroth to stop Ion's fatal ritual.

In Daath, Luke and Tear reunite with Anise to meet Ion, learning of Dist’s prison escape and Malkuth’s troops being attacked by unknown forces bearing Kimlascan banners. General Frings reports his soldiers had empty eyes. The group suspects a frame-up and seeks King Inogbert, but Anise flees after collapsing from miasma. They encounter Natalia, who confirms the attack, leading Jade to suspect replicas are impersonating both kingdoms to restart the war. Tear collapses again, and Ion offers to remove the miasma but is interrupted by Anise, who drags him away. Arietta reveals Anise took Ion to the Sephiroth in the cathedral to read the Seventh Fonstone, which would kill him. The group finds Anise and Mohs, who holds Anise’s parents hostage. Mohs and Anise escape with Ion, leaving Arietta behind. Luke’s group fights replicas of familiar people, including Guy’s sister, while Tear uses a fonic hymn, causing another collapse. A letter on Anise’s doll guides them to Mount Zaleho. Ion reads the score for Luke to help him find his path, then transfers the miasma from Tear into himself. Ion dies, telling Anise he understands her actions. Back in Daath, Anise explains Mohs enslaved her via her parents’ debts, and Luke comforts her.
