A serious explanation given to Sanna, her mind got really messed up by the fact everything is connected.
Sadness, confusion. All of that became madness that she even couldn't imagine.
"You said about hope? What are you planning? And why are you telling me all of this like you feel I will accept it all?" Sanna asked.
"(Sitting on his chair.) I'm hoping for a brighter future." Takaya said that easily.
"Future? How come you can easily say something like that?" Sanna asked.
"It's really simple. You must have imagined that with all of this power everything is possible at once except one thing. No one can bring back things that have already passed. But this (his hand glows), this is a chance." Takaya said.
"What do you mean?" She getting confused.
"A chance to fix this corrupted world. Rebuild it to be a better place to live on. As long as those fighting for their dominance still exist, that would only bring this world chaos."
"We're the same Sanna. Both of us have a sister that is always fighting for their justice. Before one of them actually dies, they won't stop. And we are the only chance to stop them."
Sanna's eyes couldn't hold the tears.
"But I can't do this alone, neither stopping those who keep bringing chaos, nor my sister. That is why I gathered you guys here, Asahi, Ai, Fukushima, also You are having the same power as mine that might work together to bring this world peace."
The girl finally gets what Takaya actually said.
"I thought I was the only one who always thinks about it." She sounded happy.
The hopes that he have even bigger than hers, to find someone that has the same hope as her is really unimaginable.
"Finally I found someone that I can share this feeling with."
Right after that she cried, releasing her feelings that she even couldn't do it before her closest people. She holds it all from her family and friends.

In a different place Ai is still working on her reading of the book that Takaya gave her. The room was piled up with a bunch of food, trash and snacks.
Many holographics show data of each person that is now already known as the reincarnated warrior. Trying to find the possibility of each power they can do.
But she focuses on Sanna and Asahi duel recordings, and tries to dig even further, like she has a feeling that something she missed.
"Huhhh, this never ends… Looking forward and backward there's no meaning. Asahi has another personality, but her power signature is nearly the same as Demon,"
"Sanna can make Asahi's power dissipate even if it was smaller. Aunt Erisa's journal says…"
"THAT'S IT!!!!"
She screamed and realized something. She finally found out what she was looking for. She dashing out from her room and going toward Takaya's office to bring the news.
As soon she barge in the room, she stops,
"Ah. Did I break the moment?"
Saw Sanna in her tears and Takaya cheering her.
"Can you just knock first?" Takaya jokingly talks to Ai.
"Sorry but I have news for you." Ai walks toward the screen and shows the results of her discovery.
"What is that?" Takaya asked.
"See at Asahi's signature energy while she lost herself, I thought it was Demon's signature energy but I was wrong"
"I divided 2 main energy signatures, 1 is the W-base energy. It's an energy that only the reincarnated ancient warrior has, it all has the same signature. I've compared our energy to others. It pretty much has a similar pattern except the color."
"The other one Emotional Energy, it's an energy that comes from our emotions, and this is interesting yet also a bad news."
"Before she lost control, her emotional energy was constantly in the middle all of the time, but it's going down into minus energy that is nearly the same as Demon's energy."
"For better understanding, let's just say this Emotional energy affects Asahi, possesses her for be able to talk to us in a short time. But due to her massive losses of power, the possession fades away."
"This Emotional Energy might affect personality changes and form also raising up the ability. Just like Demon's giving her appearance. For the worst, we are also having that chance to experience it." Ai explains her thoughts about the situation.
"Inversed Shift. I once experienced it, and nearly killed people around me if my sister didn't stop me that time. But yet I didn't feel anything or remember anything about it." Takaya surprised Ai, agreeing to her thoughts.
"But how about Asahi? She didn't seem like she was down about something…" Sanna said.
"That… I still don't know, it's been said that only The Forgotten has that power possession thing. My theory is that if it's true that her 'other personality' is taking over her body, that 'personality' may have a connection to her previous reincarnated warrior's memory. Or maybe she was indeed there for some reason that we don't ever know."
"Only Asahi knows about it." Takaya said.
"Wait, so we just can't do anything about it? And leave her suffering like that?" Sanna anxiously said that.
"Actually that isn't the point. I admit we can't do anything about it, but we can prevent her other personality from taking control if it's meant to harm her or people." Ai said.
"What are you talking about? We can't just let that happen-"
"That's not what Asahi wants us to do, Sanna." Takaya cuts her.
She stared weirdly towards Takaya.
"We can't find anything if we don't see that. That means we have to let it happen and be prepared if something goes wrong. That is our job to prevent that. But other than that, it is Asahi's job to find her own way of dealing with that. If we try to stop it, this will never end."
"And this will keep happening forever. Asahi wouldn't want that."
Takaya adds Ai's words to assure Sanna.
"So what do you guys think? If it's out of our hands?" Sanna asked.
Ai seemed confident,
"That's why I came here. (She pointed her finger to Sanna.) Sanna, you are the Reincarnated Warrior, The Distortion."
Ai breaks the news about Sanna's true identity.
"Are you sure about it?" Takaya said.
"There is no doubt about it, the journal and yesterday's events proves your mother's vision is right." Ai said.
"Me? The Distortion? What are you saying?" Sanna is confused by the sudden declaration.
"The data, power ability, everything matched with your Takaya's mother journal. That journal contains everything about ancient warrior knowledge. And by that I can confirm your reincarnated warrior."
Sanna looking at both of her friends.
"And you are the one who can help Asahi if everything goes wrong. Your power can suppress Asahi Forgotten's power. It was confirmed while you two were having a battle." Ai adds her explanation.
—-------
5 hours later.
Sanna leaves the facility make her way home. Still trying to believe that she was a really reincarnated ancient warrior.
Thinking about what she'll do next after she knows about her true power. She couldn't think of anything but to fight, for the good of her family and friends. But she couldn't expect what will happen next.
She eventually arrives at her house, her house also a restaurant that her family raised. She skipped the entrance and went straight to the backdoor.
While entering the back door, the atmosphere oddly being a really dark room and no one's there. She went to the stairs and walked to her room, but after seeing her sister's room and went inside that room.
Walking around the room, seeing her sister's belongings, photos, and other stuff, reminds her of her sister before she never comes back.
Among all of those she sees a thing that she never sees before. It's a box with a fingerprint lock mechanism. Curious about the box whe approach the box and examine it closely, noticing the weight is surprisingly heavy.
She figured that she might not be able to open the box because the fingerprint mechanism may belong to her sister's finger.
"There's no way my finger would open this box." She said pressing her finger to the fingerprint.
Suddenly the box lit up green and opened by itself, hee finger was indeed matched to unlock the box. The box contains a small paper with a pistol that has been modified and embossed with the name 'K.Meguma Model'.
"This gun, Kanna's special pistol." Sanna knows about the pistol.
The Elite team member has a specific type of pistol that they designed as they preferred to be for better improved tactical use. It seems Kanna left that weapon long before she betrayed XAG.
She look at a piece a paper that also left inside, it was Kanna's letter addressed to Sanna,
"Dear Sanna, my beloved sister.
When you read this letter that means you already opened this box, and left this to you as a parting gift.
I know you may also know about my betrayal, or maybe you are also the one who will hunt me down, but it's your choice to choose, and I never blame you for that.
This pistol is very special, it was designed for my preference, upgraded with very high end class parts that money can buy. Of course this is XAG's work.
Remember about the shooting contest that we held together? This is actually a gun that I prepared for the next shooting contest with you, but since things were changed I decided to give it to you.
I will never be able to come back, not even see you again as a sister. We will be enemies unless you want to follow me in my tracks to gain justice that was robbed from me. I wish I could explain everything to you, but I can't. I can't afford to lose you as well.
With this, you can either use it to protect your friends and enemy from me and kill me, or you will throw it away. You are free to choose anything for your life. I wouldn't never stop you.
But, you cannot stop me for anything I would do to gain my justice, if we eventually meet and you are also the one who crossed paths with me, I will not hold back. Even if it means costing your life in the end. So be prepared, and do not hesitate with your choices.
As a sister, I'll show you the hardest way, no matter what you might lose, hesitation is unforgivable.
So do not hesitate! Protect what you need to protect! Your friends, mom, dad, even Nagisa!
Do not repeat my mistake!
Goodbye, I love you.
Your sister, Kanna."
The letter ends with the last sisterly feelings that impacted Sanna's heart. Even when people lose themselves in a depth of disappointment they still have a lot of love.
A tear started to fall from her eyes once again. Her reality is just a black canvas that starts filled with sketches, drawing her determination. She knows that the day will come where she must take a place to act on her own.
"Hesitation…."
She finally understands what she really feels and what brings her closer to despair. Everything that already happened keeps confusing her even more because of her hesitation to make a decision.
She wipes her tears as a determination of change,
"If this is the way it is supposed to be… So be it!"
