While someone tries to heal an injured person, an SSS-class Commander begins overheating and confusion spreads: others worry his Out-of-Control Level can’t drop below 80 without soul-binding. He lashes out, denying intentions and insisting others were only trying to lower his level; another admits the heat is clouding judgment. Arguments collapse into alarm when an ally yells a warning as the Commander goes berserk. The episode ends with the shouted name 'Ethan' hanging in the air and the group frozen, facing an imminent unresolved confrontation.
