Refusing, she explains that she has been her mother ever since she was an infant and will not let Anna Shin to take her away. Though Shin asks about destiny, Madren knows that she is trying to sway her emotions. Madren tells Kira to go back inside but Kira stalls, telling Madren that she is curious since Shin mentioned that the Genus sensed her birth. When Shin explains the Genus and what the elemental force is, Madren thinks about the possibility that Kira will leave, since she is very curious and interested in knowing more than what is given to her.

Madren questions Shin's motives and refuses but Kira starts to talk about teachings, which almost offends Madren. Madren thinks that she has more to teach Kira but Kira wants more in life, especially to know the truth about her parents. When Shin talks about the teachings of the Genus, Kira leaves to get something, confirming her side.

When Kira leaves, Madren talks to Shin about her teachings on this planet.

Before Madren can finish the conversation, Kira comes back with her parent's book. Shin asks if Kira has made her decision, in which Madren knows the answer. Though Kira is conflicted, she wishes to learn more. Sensing this from Kira's speech patterns, Madren agrees to let Kira leave. Surprised, Kira questions if that is the right choice but Madren explains that she wants the best for Kira and the Genus will give her a good life, one that she might not be able to give.

When Kira leaves, she promises that she will come back to Madren. Madren lets Kira know that she must do what she thinks is right and unlock her potential. Madren tells Shin to make sure nothing bad happens to Kira and Shin understands.

As they leave, Madren smiles and waves at the ship before heading back into her hut to meditate. She meditates on the past, learning from her teachings with Kira and hoping that she will grow to become a strong, independent individual who knows right from wrong.
