Ep. 22: Hakaze reveals Aika's fate and the Tree of Genesis truth to the group.

After returning to the present, Hakaze discloses the reality behind Aika’s death and the Tree of Genesis. Surprisingly, Mahiro and Yoshino show no anger or surprise regarding Aika’s suicide, nor do they blame Hakaze, focusing instead on her final message. Concurrently, major global powers establish a naval defense perimeter around the Tree’s core to guard against the Mage of Exodus. Mahiro devises a strategy for Megumu to infiltrate and destroy the core without causing fleet casualties. As Mahiro and Yoshino recall their initial encounter with Aika, their companions prepare for the impending final confrontation with the Tree of Genesis.
