Rushing to register on Luprea University's last day, Karlie Scott is processed by Mr. Hull—who fills her marital status incorrectly—then hurries away. She decides to repay the Scotts by selling her mecha designs and confirms an item auction. At school, classmates spot her and spread gossip that the Scotts’ adopted daughter applied for a genetic match out of desperation, mocking the outdated matching system and posting her on the school forum. Confronted by hostile peers asking if she’s registering alone, Karlie is exposed publicly; the episode ends with her auction and match application leaving her future unresolved.
