What They Wish For Prospera explains that Quiet Zero will use the Aerial's Gund-Format to take control of any Permit-Link technology, but Miorine is reluctant to inherit the project. At Asticassia, Suletta and other students participate in the battle royal while Sarius bears witness. However, the event is interrupted by Norea and Sophie with their Gundams and an army of drones, knocking out one participant, killing another, and causing havoc among the guests. Nika tries to report them but is stopped by Grassley House, the attack being a distraction while they kidnap Sarius. Meanwhile, Belmoria confronts Prospera and realizes that the Aerial is actually her first daughter, Ericht, whose mind has been transferred into the Gundam as its control system. Prospera then asks for her assistance on Quiet Zero, intending to "rewrite the world so Ericht can be happy". Back at Asticassia, Ericht takes control of the Aerial and shuts down Sophie's Gundam and drones. However, she refuses to back down and goes past her limits, killing herself in the process. Afterward, Norea recovers Sophie's body while Earth House is detained for suspected terrorism. Suletta is troubled by Sophie's death, but Ericht convinces her that she did the right thing.
