A Saintly Decision.Joseph continues his story, telling Amanda how while Xargin helped people at the church, it was torched by anti-Outsider rioters and Xargin was burned. When visiting Xargin in hospital, Joseph met Sasha who recognised his rosary and told Joseph that they were siblings separated at birth. At the time, Sasha was carrying out bio-engineering research at the university with nanomachines to overcome disease. To help the immigrant refugees displaced by the flood, Xargin and Joseph broke into the university for medicine, but were caught by the guards. Sasha negotiated with director Victor Stachus to have them released. After Sasha's apparent death by anti-Outsider hooligans and the deaths of Outsider children due to lack of medicine, Joseph learned that Victor was using her research to create living weapons. Angry at all the suffering, Xargin used Sasha's research to become a Blassreiter to end suffering in the world. When Joseph was injured trying to stop him, Xargin dropped some of his blood into Joseph's mouth, making him a Blassreiter. Back in the present, Amanda and Joseph are standing in the graveyard then two machines appear, piloted by Mei-Fong and Sasha, who is alive but looks different.
