In this episode a captured demoness faces interrogation in Mystic Hall until a confrontation escalates when she suddenly attempts to flee. Two enforcers, the speaker and Max, overpower her, invoking a Blood Catalyst and blocking her Severance escape technique so she can't use it again for decades. After the cuffs are removed by Ms. Lindt, the rescued woman rethinks a man who risked his life to save her. But talk of Mystic Hall as the Fusion Syndicate in Drosa, which traffics national-grade spiritual items, raises new stakes. If they interfere with the Syndicate, they're in real danger.
