Short Synopsis
The Yoma drops the badly injured Clare and turns his attention to Galk and Sid. Just then a large number of soldiers enter the cathedral and the Yoma quickly makes its escape. Galk picks up Clare despite Sid's protests, saying they have to repay her for saving their life. Raki arrives at the cathedral and runs to the severely injured Clare, who is being looked after by Father Vincent. Vincent explains they didn't know how to treat Clare so all they could do was bandage her wounds.

Clare later wakes up and continues her search for the Yoma by checking all the priests in the cathedral, but she couldn't find a Yoma amongst them. She wonders where it could hide and realises where it was hiding. Raki is seen walkin through the cathedral when he is attacked by the corpse in one of the coffins. Clare arrives and saves him before engaging the Yoma in battle along with Galk and Sid. Clare slices off one of the Yoma's arms but has to stop as she is approaching her limit. He attacks Clare in her defensless state but is saved by Glak and Sid. This giver her an opening to slice off the Yoma's other arm before slicing it in half. However, Clare has passed her limits and is beginning to Awaken. Raki grabs her and helps to stop the Awakening process, saving Clare. Later Clare and Raki are seen saying goodbye to Father Vincent, Galk and Sid as they leave the city for their next job.
