Chapter 2-13

== Minori ==
Minori has just seen Alcia at his doorstep. He takes her in, now knowing it was Soren who left her there. It is revealed to him just through sight that she was violated. He becomes overwhelmed with emotion. Although they have not had much personal shared conversation past the day they met, he feels attached to her and like a protector.
The next hour Rin comes. She had just encountered Soren and Zade. She tells him the news of Zade's betrayal and Minori doesn't react. She leaves him with his emotions.
A few more hours pass. Mizu gathers everyone except for Alice and Yosiron, reporting their departure as well and the apparent news that Alice is Zade's confidant. The important decision is made for the Eastland Launch to remain operational. Zade is gone but their mission still stands. This would not be the case if the true intentions of the Kikono were known, but everyone believes them still to be good.
In the meeting, Minori is given the ultimatum to become the head of the Launch due to Mizu and Rin leaving. He denies it and leaves the building which brings Rin to follow him. He breaks down, decisions coming off on him as if it were his fault. She comforts him in a motherly way and guides him back to his cottage. There, they discover Alcia is gone and his state only worsens. But as Rin had already done, she comforts him more and tells him to look around.
A towel is missing and Minori sighs in relief. He believes she is just taking a shower. Rin understands why. She tells him she'll talk with Alcia and she leaves.

== Minori ==
Just immediately following Rin's talk with Minori, Minori greets Rin at his door. She tells him of her talk with Alcia and Minori finally decides he wants to lead the Eastland Launch. This overjoys Rin and she leaves with him to depart back to Kaen. The joy is shortlived as a misunderstanding rises frustration in Minori when Rin says Poleon was a backup to run the Launch if he didn't decide to.
