Ep. 8: Luke and Ion meet Van in a tunnel, triggering Akzeriuth's collapse into the Qlipoth.
Luke and companions reach Akzeriuth to address the miasma. In tunnel 14, Van guides them to a Sephiroth, urging Luke to release hyperreasonance by calling him a foolish replica. Luke opens his fon slots, destroying the passage ring and causing Akzeriuth to collapse. Tear warns Jade and Asch, then confronts Van, whom she calls Mystearica, about his betrayal and the world's folly. After Tear rescues the group, they fall into the Qlipoth and enter the Tartarus. Tear explains their location is the Outer world. Luke denies responsibility for destroying the supporting Sephiroth, leading others to abandon him except for Mieu. At Yulia City, Luke avoids the Mayor's office. Asch reveals Luke is his replica, causing Luke to lose control and easily defeat him.
