When a stranger named Aria offers Kain Harris a restorative tea, he goes inside curiously. She treats him, asks him to lie down, close his eyes, and touches him. The tea cures his fatigue, replenishes exhausted qi and a bolt-like current runs through his veins. Old wounds close as Aria uses a technique. The key turn comes when the last meridian linked to his core opens and he gains a new ability. The episode ends with Kain’s core awakened and both left to face the immediate, unresolved consequences.
