When Lumies awoke at the hospital in Tokyo, Lilceide burst into the room. She began to explain to her what happened. The Japanese government would aid them. Additionally, for Lumies's safety, their government had suggested keeping her status as a princess hidden while she would stay in Japan as a foreign exchange student from the Qua-Toyne Principality. While they talked, a nurse reported that Lumies had regained consciousness, prompting the doctor to come. After an examination, Lumies could discharge after three days.

Foreign Ministry staff member Nakai brought the all-white apparel consisting of a fluffy sweater on top of a blouse and a knee-high frilly skirt to Lumies, who changed into the clothing. After Lumies and Lilceide were done with civilian clothing, they exited the room and out into the hallway. Nakai directed them to follow and exit the hospital to the car for sightseeing around Tokyo.
