The crew goes to Sun Jewel to try and get Homura's memories of the previous worlds back, but find familiar faces, both friends and foes, led by an even more surprising woman.

## Summary

Hermit does some stretches to check that her body has no pain. Witch is delighted to see Hermit again, which she is as well. However, their mood becomes somber knowing that Valkyrie is dead in this universe as well. Sister asks Hermit on what she was doing for the last 15 years, to which she answers that she was researching ether accelerators. She never met Müller, thus the research was successful and Hook is recovering, afterward she went to Digitalis and played games there since she had nothing better to do. Jinn mentions that he and Kleene never met Müller in this universe either. He answers Sister that he chose to become an O-Tech, as it is normal on his planet to adapt to the atmosphere, while Kleene was scared so she did not become one. They then left to study abroad because of family customs, where they ended up on Guilst because they got lost and, as a last resort, started working for Drakken. The Shining Stars then worry about Homura, wondering if her heart is keeping her from remembering the last world. In the Dress Factory, Kleene and Rebecca get Homura to wear her kimono, but she apologizes for being unable to remember the previous worlds. She asks if her master was alive in the previous, which they deny. Rebecca asks about this world's Valkyrie. Homura tells them, saying everything was her fault, on Oedo her mother left her to work away but never returned. Valkyrie became her parent and teacher, but 5 years ago she injured the son of the shogunate in a match, an act of disrespect punishable by beheading. Despite this, Seiji stood in her defense but his father was adamant, leaving Valkyrie to take her place and was beheaded.

Everyone is shocked to hear this, where Homura states that she ever since then she could no longer wield her sword. Being alone once more, she went out to find her mother. The Shining Stars wonder why things went so horribly for Homura in this world. They atleast know where her mother is, but worry that things could turn out much worse. Regardless, with no other option to return Homura's memories, they set course to Sun Jewel. Shiki's group walk the streets, while Homura wonders if her mother is here. They try to tell her about her mother from previous worlds but find it hard to say it, though Homura guesses that she was a horrible person and was already prepared for the worse. Suddenly, someone calls out to them, warning them that the Stones are coming from the blockade zone. He tells them to follow him to the shelter, saying that they will be fine as long as the Punishers are out. They see Eagle, Van, Yak, and Nino coming to fight, but are surprised to see Garrot and Baku as well. Another figure comes leading them, surprising them the most to find Madame Kurenai defending the planet.
