## Summary

### Day 100: November 2, 2033

Jun is haunted by recurring nightmares on a distant planet. Jun's recurring nightmare involves intense and alarming scenes. In the dream, there are ominous statements like "We'll meet again!! Soon!!" and a sense of urgency with warnings like "The airship is here!! Run!!". The dreams seem to be linked to Jun's past, perhaps involving a traumatic event or a group of individuals who pose a threat. He wakes up. Jun's been imprisoned for a week. Mark visits Jun in prison, urging him to come out after a week. However, Jun refuses and asks for his food. Mark expresses regret about the behavior of their fellow citizens and suggests Jun leave, kick out problematic citizens, or endure the situation. Jun decides to leave temporarily and plans to return after rebuilding his armor set. Xuanyu had taken Jun's armor set and threw them all away except his powerful sword. During the prison visit, a guard insults Jun, prompting Mark to defend him as the vice president. Mark leaves, leaving Jun feeling depressed and hopeless as the guard looks at Jun with a disgusted face.

The community is furious at Xuanyu, blaming Jun for causing their problems and even falsely accusing him of war crimes. Mikey and George realize they can't free Jun from prison. Mark observes the chaos, and Phoenix suggests moving away from the chaotic citizens of Izuzunu. However, Mark suddenly experiences a severe headache, collapsing in pain. Phoenix calls for help, and Xuanyu rushes to Mark's aid, alarmed by the sudden distress. Mark experiences a mysterious vision where he hears voices and witnesses a burning town. As he runs through unfamiliar streets, he hears voices urging him to remember his father and the atrocities committed by the Usagians. The vision transitions to a kingdom, where Mark sits on a mountain and a little girl talks about their family's plans. Suddenly, Mark recalls his entire past life, including his family, hometown, and the Usagi Empire's actions in his hometown. Shocked by this revelation, he wakes up and realizes he has forgotten these memories after his dad injected him with a needle when he was seven. Mark reflects on the horrible events from his past and the implications of rediscovering his lost memories.

At the Nightclub, Mark reveals to Phoenix that his lost memories have returned, recounting the tragedy of their shared past when the Usagi Empire raided their kingdom. Mark's family was taken, and Phoenix's parents were killed. Mark explains that his memories were erased by a serum injected by his father, but he has now recollected them. Phoenix, undeterred, decides to accompany Mark on his journey. Edison, another friend, joins the plan but suggests waiting until Jun is released from prison. They plan to set off in a few weeks to find Mark's hometown, Kujukaeya. Phoenix agrees to stay behind to ensure safety in case of another war.

In a dark and empty prison cell, Jun finds the situation boring. Suddenly, he hears strange noises from the roof, and Misha, a friend, falls through, offering an escape to Jun. Misha insists that Jun doesn't deserve imprisonment and urges him to take this chance to break free. However, Jun is reluctant, explaining that he has to complete his one-month sentence and doesn't want to become a wanted criminal. Misha's friend waits on the other side, pressuring them to hurry. Despite Misha's plea and the opportunity to escape, Jun decides to stay, stating that he doesn't want to be seen as an escaped criminal, which would worsen the citizens' perception of him. Misha departs, leaving Jun contemplating his decision in the dimly lit cell, resigned to his current life in prison.
