- Lieutenant Akira
- It's getting louder. The protocol. It has a VOICE now — it sounds like me, but patient. It keeps offering to take the pain away.
- PILOT
- And what do you tell it?
- Lieutenant Akira
- That pain is the only proof I'm still the one flying. Contact alarm — that's Oni-Prime's signature. Kaito found us.
- Lieutenant Hikari
- Then today I stop fighting the Ghost and start fighting FOR my brother. Keep the escorts off me. Whatever you hear on this channel — do not interfere.

- Lieutenant Hikari
- KAITO! Three months before the academy — you broke mother's telescope and blamed the gardener's cat! NOBODY else knows that! The machine doesn't know that! YOU do!
- Lieutenant Akira
- Its flight pattern is fracturing... it pulled the killing blow. Hikari, it PULLED the blow—
- Ensign Kaito
- STATIC: ...hikari...? sister, it's so dark in here—
- PILOT
- Signal's cut. It's retreating — no, it's FLEEING. She reached him. There's still a boy inside that ghost.

- Sergeant Yuki
- Hikari said not to interfere on this channel no matter what we hear. So we are not going to. Copy that, everyone. copy it twice.
- Lieutenant Nakamura
- Escorts on us, guns off her channel. Whatever family business happens out there today, it happens between the two of them.
After floor 4· beat 2
- Lieutenant Nakamura
- Whatever just happened out there, the Oni unit broke off mid-engagement. That does not happen. Something changed.
- Sergeant Yuki
- I am choosing to read that as good news and I am not going to poke it. some things you just let be true.
