After exchanging formalities, Elen and Cal draw their weapons, leading to an even match between the two. Reiji arrives and tries to persuade Cal to end the standoff, but she refuses. The standoff ends when Lizzie interrupts and manages to convince Cal to leave. Lizzie lets Reiji and Elen go, but she warns them that Inferno won't let the pair off that easily. Reiji calls Shiga and threatens him using Mio to advise Inferno not to try anything. During her conversation with Lizzie, Cal reveals her dark thoughts and reasons for being an assassin. The next day, while Elen goes to negotiate their escape plans, Reiji and Mio go on a date again. While Mio is away, Cal appears to Reiji. He tells Cal that she can kill him on condition that she let Elen go. Cal states that she will make Reiji suffer before killing him. Later, Cal takes her frustration out on a group of thugs who get in her way.
