## Plot

Having recovered from her injuries, Jocelyn approaches her room and wonders what kind of entrance she could make. She decides to rush down to the band room, grabs a trumpet and comes back. She starts playing a tune on the trumpet, loud enough for both Sara and Natalie to hear. She enters the room and continues playing for a short while before stopping and greeting Natalie, although she also notes Sara's absence. She asks Natalie about it but Natalie is too elated to see Jocelyn and expresses this instead. Sara then comes bursting out of the bathroom, asking why there was trumpet music before cutting herself off and excitedly celebrating Jocelyn being back and fully recovered. Jocelyn then goes to return the trumpet to the band room and returns to the room in a few minutes.

After Sara once again states her happiness at Jocelyn's return, Jocelyn asks Sara if she told Natalie about their trip to the Sacred Sanctum. Sara confirms, including how bad it went. Jocelyn asks about her powered-up form she took in particular, Sara simply stated the similarity to her Resonance. Natalie shivers somewhat at the thought of this. Jocelyn then reveals she came up with a name for it: Braveheart. She wants to learn how to activate it at will, and notes how her dislike/fear of fighting completely disappeared, and that her speed increased immensely, but also mentions she didn't feel her power increase, just her speed, a difference from Sara's Resonance. Natalie admires how strong both of her roommates are, Sara trying to reassure Natalie she's strong too, referring back to her overcoming Lilith the other day. Jocelyn continues to wonder how to control this Braveheart power, and asks Natalie what's been going on between her, Proto and Lewis during the time the other girls were away on their trip. It's Sara that answers, however, and says she hasn't talked much with either one yet. Sara predicts Lewis to be a smartass about the whole situation, angering Jocelyn somewhat, though Sara jokingly asks Jocelyn not to kill him as that is her job. Natalie then answers the question initially directed at her, saying she spent time with Proto but has no idea about Lewis. When Natalie suggests to ask Proto, he appears in the room's doorway, as if he knew Jocelyn had recovered and would be here. Jocelyn is to see him and hugs him before telling her roommates it was Proto who saved her from the Deathtalon. Proto jokes that he is a psychic before saying he has good intuition. Jocelyn gets straight to the point and asks where Lewis is. Proto answers that he is in his room, presumably reading a book. Upon hearing this, Jocelyn immediately walks out. Proto asks what she is going to do, Sara suggesting she's going to kill Lewis, rendering Natalie concerned, Proto says he'll go after her to try and stop her, joking that he might get a camera instead, and heads off.

Lewis is in his room, sitting on his bed, fiddling with his watch. Suddenly, in a split second and without warning, Jocelyn slams open the door. Lewis first notes Jocelyn's recovery before she demands a talk outside the school. Lewis presumes this to be about the Sacred Sanctum trip. Jocelyn responds quite unamused. Proto then comes to see if no one's dead yet. Jocelyn demands they come along and asks Proto to bring the others, mentioning three people in particular. Proto confirms the three in question rather casually, Jocelyn pointing this out. She nods aggressively as Proto asks if his remark was too soon. Lewis remains composed and claims Jocelyn's anger is misplaced, though Proto doesn't fully agree with this.

After Proto has brought Carol, Amelia and Sara outside the school where Lewis and Jocelyn are. After Sara questions why they've been dragged out here, Jocelyn begins to call out Lewis on his actions and decisions, starting with him staying behind. Lewis counters by pointing out how bad he thought the idea was, and that the others would not let themselves be stopped, Sara especially. Lewis boldly states he's fine if Jocelyn's here to beat him up and that it won't change his stance on the matter. Proto tries to defend Lewis by saying it was impossible to expect the dangerous people at the Sanctum. Jocelyn disregards this, stating he should have done what she did and still attempt to stop them. Proto reaffirms Lewis' earlier statement of the girls' stubbornness and Lewis points out he was not the only one that said they were going to stay at the Academy, referring to Jocelyn initially choosing this option as well as Proto choosing to stay behind. In her anger, Jocelyn blurts out someone leaked information, which both Proto and Lewis notice. They ask Jocelyn about it, but she's too heated to listen. Her anger grows by the minute, Sara even trying to calm Jocelyn down, to no avail. Sara tries to point out that even with Lewis being with them they would not have stood a chance against the villainous trio. Jocelyn's anger reaches a breaking point and her Braveheart form activates. Sara and Proto are taken by surprise, Amelia becomes concerned and Lewis asks Proto what is going on, the latter having no answer. Jocelyn stares Lewis down fiercely with her now-purple eyes. Her method of communication then switches to area telepathy, taking her anger out on Lewis, saying he could've prevented the others from getting hurt as much as they did and nearly dying. Proto tries to calm the situation down while Lewis asks Sara what's going on, but Sara has no idea. Sara then also attempts to calm Jocelyn down, only for her to appear right in front of Lewis in a flash and knock Lewis back with a forward slice of her harp. Proto then states it's time to leave, to make sure they don't get hurt. Sara questions this, asking Proto if he's going to let Jocelyn just beat up Lewis. Proto then slightly changes his course of action, instead telling Sara, Amelia and Carol to leave. He reassures the three he will be fine and is going to try to get Jocelyn to calm down. She seems hellbent on harming Lewis, but Proto nevertheless tries to get through to her. Jocelyn takes this as Proto taking Lewis' side and attacks him as well. Lewis tells Proto to leave, but he refuses. Jocelyn remains on the offensive, and Lewis asks Proto to confirm he wants to stick around. Proto confirms, telling him to stop Jocelyn before she does something reckless. Lewis then unfurls his chain, ready to take Jocelyn on in battle. Jocelyn delivers a quick strike to the both of them. Lewis blocks part of it with his chain but still takes a hit in the arm. Proto suffers the same attack but seems to have taken less damage. Lewis notes how strong Jocelyn is in the current moment, Proto mentions to be careful. Jocelyn remains fixated on Lewis, and Proto asks him if he has a plan because he does not. Lewis mention freezing is not going to help, Proto suggest to try to restrain her, to give them an opportunity to break through to her. Jocelyn interrupts by zooming past them, creating a blaringly loud sonic boom. Jocelyn gets close to Proto and smacks him, calling him a traitor. Proto tries once again to break through to Jocelyn, but is unsuccesful, Jocelyn instead stating her full name of Jocelyn Meria Vitren and claims to not know who he is, smirking cockily afterwards. Lewis responds, referring to him and Proto as her friends, claiming she's apparently forgotten this. He shifts forward and uses Light Magic to shine a bright light directly in Jocelyn's face, stunning her. He grabs Proto's wrist and uses his chain on a nearby structure above them to swing them both away from Jocelyn. Proto says this plan is terrible, but Lewis counters that it's better than nothing. Lewis is skeptical that Proto can get her to calm down, but Proto gives it another try anyways, grabbing Jocelyn from behind by her arms. Jocelyn struggles to free herself, but when she turns her head to face Proto, he begins yelling at her, but also lists what he perceives to be Jocelyn. Jocelyn finally calms down and the Braveheart form wears off. Jocelyn seems to not remember what happened, but Proto says all that matters is that all three of them are okay, Lewis agreeing. Then Jocelyn remembers what happened right before she went berserk and starts crying and leaning into Proto's shoulder. She apologizes but Proto says there's no need, Lewis adding that she was right to be angry. Jocelyn asks both if they're okay, and both confirm that they are. Jocelyn describes what happened to her as being unable to control herself, the Braveheart form using her anger to control her. Proto says instead that she let it control her, indicating he thinks she's stronger than her anger. Jocelyn apologizes once again which is lampshaded by Proto. She then apologizes about apologizing and Proto reassures Jocelyn that they know she never meant any harm. Jocelyn then quietly apologizes to someone named Karden. Lewis then decides to leave the 'lovely couple' alone, to Proto's confusion. Jocelyn tells Proto she never wants to use the Braveheart form again, Proto telling her in response he'll make sure she'll never have to. Jocelyn lampshades the amount of times Proto has saved her and questions him about it. He states he cares about her the most out of everyone. Jocelyn says she cares about everyone equally but is also worried she's hurt everyone equally. Proto comforts Jocelyn again, stating everyone understands why she was angry. Jocelyn notes how stressful the past few days have been, Proto agreeing that a lot of crazy things have happened recently. Jocelyn wants to apologize to the other but wants Proto to come along, which he happily will.

## Trivia

* Sara describes Jocelyn's insane speed as "running around at the speed of sound". This is a reference to the song "Escape from the City" by Crush 40, from the video game Sonic Adventure 2, the first lyric of the song being "Rolling around at the speed of sound".
* When Jocelyn asks Proto how he knew where she'd be, he makes a comment about being psychic, but then reveals it's a joke and that he just has good intuition. This is a reference to Danganronpa, where in the first game, the character Sayaka would, multiple times, claim to be psychic, only to say she's kidding and that she just has good intuition.
