An orb is tossed upon the earth. It transforms to match its surrounding environment: first a rock, then moss, then a dying wolf. The wolf returns to its last remaining family, a boy living alone in a small home in the snow.

Fushi, March and Parona continue their escape from Yanome and back to Ninanna. Hayase chases after them, especially in order to capture Fushi.

Just as Gugu and Rean come to understand each other, the Nokkers emerge, causing panic in the party hall. Fushi and Gugu are forced to fight.

Fushi parts ways with Tonari and heads to the port where Pioran is waiting for him. He worries that he may attract the Nokkers again and endanger her.
