EPISODIUM
Chris manages to destroy Leiur while Elfnein gets injured protecting one of the staff from the damage caused by her attacks on HQ. Meanwhile, Hibiki meets up with her father again, telling him he needs to be the one to take the first step in getting their family back together. Just then, Carol's Chateau appears in the sky, powered by both the cursed melodies gathered by the Autoscorers and the assistance of Ver. After deeming Ver of no further use and seemingly dispatching him, Carol turns her attention towards Hibiki, knocking away her relic. While seemingly running away in fear at first, Hibiki's father manages to distract Carol long enough to retrieve Hibiki's relic, helping Hibiki realise that he had always been protecting her in her own way. Hibiki is soon joined by the other wielders as they get her father to safety and once again confront Carol, as she uses her relic's Burst Mode to resonate with the Chateau as it spreads a photosphere across the entire planet. While Hibiki, Tsubasa, and Chris fight against Carol, Maria, Shirabe, and Kirika head inside the Chateau to try and shut it down, where they suddenly find themselves in the presence of Nastassja.
