| | synopsis = Pareidolia connects to [[Sensei]], pointing out just how chaotic things have started to become. They calmly explain the reason for this: It is "their turn". They expect there to be opposition from "both sides", but insist to Sensei that if he follows them, they will guarantee the safety of those he loves. It sympathizes with his recent plight, that is, his struggle to choose what is right and what is wrong, but refuses to give him an answer on what to do – Individuality is a gift, they claim, and what is good and bad will all come down to perception. From ''their'' point of view, though, they can see the future. And in that future, Sensei is happy and content, safe from the turmoil of his mind. They advise Sensei to keep this talk in mind the next time he makes it to a reset, and warn him not to open his eyes until it's over unless he wishes to move closer to "the dark". | | | synopsis = Pareidolia connects to [[Sensei]], pointing out just how things have started to unravel.

| * Out in the ocean, [[Io]], [[Miku]], [[Makoto]], and [[Kirin]] ride atop the raft from the [[Pairs in Different Places|earlier contest]] and all of them reflect on the newfound bond they've formed and how quickly the trip flew by for them. Makoto assures them that, while they might've taken a back seat this time, they're bound to be at the center of future trips. | | * Out in the ocean, [[Io]], [[Miku]], [[Makoto]], and [[Kirin]] ride atop the raft from the [[Pairs in Different Places|earlier contest]] and all of them reflect on the newfound bond they've formed and how quickly the trip flew by for them.

| * [[Molly]] assists [[Rin]] and [[Otoha]] in setting up the latter's character for D&D Nights, which the narrator quips is strikingly different experience from [[The Legacy of Thaum Pt. III: Changeling|last time]]. Despite introducing her girlfriend to the hobby, Rin still struggles to get over her embarrassment for her nerdy side. | | * [[Molly]] assists [[Rin]] and [[Otoha]] in setting up the latter's character for D&D Nights, which the narrator points out to be an inverse from [[The Legacy of Thaum Pt. III: Changeling|last time]]. While going over the character stats and noticing how charisma strengthening spells sounds weird, Rin requests an item that makes up for her [[The Legacy of Thaum Pt. I|just getting fives]], but when Molly asks for an in-universe explanation, she accepts her rotten luck to not embarrass herself in front of Otoha with her nerdy side. |

| * [[Ayane]] pulls [[Ami]] along the shoreline, where Ayane admits that she refuses to be afraid of her anymore. Ami's confused by this assertion and tries to move past it by saying she's happy Ayane's safe again. Ayane slaps her for lying. As Ami reels from this sudden display of aggression, Ayane tells her that she'll keep slapping her if she refuses to stop taking advantage of Sensei and Maya's love for her. Additionally, she outright rejects Ami's [[From the Desk of the Ninth God|assertions]] that everyone is trying to abandon her. Hearing all this, Ami drops the act and tells her how surprised she is by this level of assertion, especially out of nowhere. Ayane leads Ami back to the girls, insisting they're still friends despite all this, much to Ami's confusion. | | * [[Ayane]] pulls [[Ami]] along the shoreline, where she admits that she refuses to be afraid of her anymore.

| The narrator wraps up their monologue, revealing themselves to be the mysterious, brown-haired girl that Ayane met in the woods. While there are still plenty of things they want to ask and learn from the listener, it's all too much to fit into their monologue, so they bring it to an end. They sign off, hopeful of the opportunity to, someday, hold the listener's hand more. | | The narrator wraps up their monologue, revealing themselves to be the mysterious, brown-haired girl.
