18화: 카렌의 소원이 과거의 인연과 토게츠를 막기 위한 긴급 임무를 밝혀낸다

The platoons take Fubuki to a safehouse, where he makes a recovery and confirms that the Other holding facility was originally built to find a way to help Alice, Hanabi's aunt and Fubuki's fiancée, return to human form. The platoons realize that Karen absorbed the powers of Yuito and Kasane in an attempt to save Alice. With Luka's permission, Fubuki reveals that he used to be childhood friends with Karen, Luka and Alice, who wanted to enlist in the OSF despite her apparent lack of psionic power. Once Fubuki and Alice reached the OSF office, they met Karen and Luka, who had been born as duds and were being used by scientists in an attempt to artificially infuse them with psionic power. In time, Karen awakened his power to copy other people's powers, while Fubuki and Alice joined the OSF. Alice suggested that Karen and Fubuki should become leaders of the OSF; an idea that Karen initially rejected but got Fubuki interested. After several missions together, Karen, Fubuki and Alice were deployed to an area in which the Extinction Belt had reached an extremely low elevation, which meant that close contact with it risked transformation into an Other. While they were ambushed by Others, Karen was almost touched by a beam from the Extinction Beam, but Alice used her powers to contain the beam within herself, transforming into an Other; which forced Karen to incapacitate her. Alice was initially confined to the OSF hospital, but with the help of Spring Pharmaceuticals, Karen and Fubuki were able to move her to a special facility in Seiran that could help her regain her humanity. Unfortunately, the experiments were fruitless and Alice faced a lengthy lockup. Fubuki came to believe that instead of helping Alice, they were merely prolonging her suffering. Fubuki begged Karen to put an end to Alice's suffering, but Karen remained determined to save her at any cost. The platoons come to the conclusion that Karen has already travelled through time but has always failed in saving Alice, meaning that it might be impossible to change history. Even though Karen is a pressing concern, however, the platoons choose to focus on stopping Togetsu by gaining access to its supercomputer, BABE. Fubuki, being connected to both Suoh and Seiran, believes it might be possible for the two factions to agree to ceasefire and confront Togetsu together. For the mission to work, the platoons will have to return to Togetsu, but Kagero has a confession to make: he is the one who killed Yuito's father. (Source: Wikipedia)
