…and you. - 0225_Day of Goodbye - Chapter 1: ・|・・|・・・ - Episode 1
In testing out all sorts of simulations to avoid world ruin, the time wedge Orologia discovers that (Captain) will always be born no matter which route is taken and is destined to become the singularity. Pitying (Captain), Orologia vows to lighten this great burden as much as possible.
In Zinkenstill, one of the Phantagrande Skydom's many islands, a man walks around a forest with a baby in his arms.
Upon arriving at the entrance to his village, he stops his weary legs at the sight of someone who appears to be waiting for him.
???: Good evening.
???: Good evening.
Seeing the worried expression on the man's face as he pulls his child in close, the visitor smiles in an effort to show that there is no ill will.
