Business is booming: orders for Eerie Mart are up 30% and staff praise owner Justin Lowe's success. That optimism collapses when someone tells Chief Wilder that "something happened at the mart." Aldric Zane, ruler of the S-rank Base, publicly accuses Justin Lowe of colluding with anomalies and slaughtering his own kind, calling him humanity's public enemy. He proclaims anyone trading with Eerie Mart will be deemed a traitor, guilty by association, and announces that judgment begins. The episode ends with Lowe's reputation destroyed and judgment set to descend.
