Short Synopsis
Clare is seen running away from Ophelia, however, the latter soon catches up with her. Ophelia attacks her and wounds her easily, even though Clare can predict her movements. Ophelia shows Clare her "Rippling Sword" which moves like a snake. Clare loses her right arm and fells from a cliff. It is revealed that she did it on purpose to fake her death and let Ophelia think she dealt the finishing blow. Ophelia sees through Clare's trick. Even before Clare can grab her arm, Ophelia cuts it to pieces. Clare starts attacking Ophelia, but doesn't land a hit. In the end even her remaining left hand is cut off and Clare can't defend herself any longer. As Ophelia is about to perform the finishing blow, a stranger appears, saying that she sensed a familiar presence. Ophelia is annoyed by the "human" and carelessly attacks, not knowing that the human was no one else than the former number two of the Organization, Quicksword Irene. She is overwhelmed by her.

When Clare wakes up she finds herself lying on a bed in a cottage. Her left hand is attached again. Irene appears and tells her that she had reattached her hand right before she passed out. Irene gives her food and tells her to recover. She also mentions that Ophelia is not dead yet. She leaves the cottage and uses her quicksword again. Clare and Irene talk about Teresa and Clare reveals her reason why she joined the Organization.

In the night Ophelia is seen crawling on the ground, still heavily injured by Irene. She cries for her brother to save her. Suddenly she gets angry, cursing her brother and the one horned moster who ate her brother's guts. She starts releasing her yoki in rage which eventually leads to her awakening. The next day, Irene trains Clare using the quicksword.
