Aoi is haunted by the thought of Rei, still trapped in the program and mentally conditioned to accept her false reality. Before taking down the system, Aoi wants to save Rei, the only friend she had before discovering the truth. The Runaways devise a plan to infiltrate the facility where Rei is being held, but it's heavily guarded and nearly impenetrable. Aoi goes in alone, armed with the knowledge she's gained and the determination to free her friend. Inside, she finds Rei, but she's changed — her mind is completely reprogrammed to be loyal to the experiment. Aoi uses the master code to override the system controlling Rei, but the process is dangerous. Rei begins to glitch, as though her mind is tearing apart under the strain of regaining her memories.
