Unable to come up with a good solution, Zero returned Sylvia her child's soul on the condition that she should no longer perform any strange experiments. All the slave and part orders that she made were forcefully cancelled. Zero decided to remain in the U.N.U. for a while as an envoy while he came up with a good solution.
Sylvia was more than happy to assist Zero in his understanding of chimaeras and alchemy when she saw how Zero was willing to think of something for her. Sylvia promised that as long as Zero agreed to help her out, she wouldn't do anything that he didn't like.
For now, the slaves were spared although the situation in U.N.U. was still as disastrous as before with the civil war continued raging on outside of the tower, Zero considered this somewhat a victory. He was given the best room in the tower and Zero spent most of his time pouring through Sylvia's research notes and checking his facts with his teachers.
