After escaping a savage terrorist assault on Plant Quetta, Suletta Mercury resumes dueling at the Asticassia School of Technology, while Miorine Rembran stays beside her wounded father, hoping for his recovery. As Earth House occupants wrestle with their own issues, two agents from Dawn of Fold—the assailants—stealthily enter the campus, endangering Suletta and her companions.
Simultaneously, Prospera, Suletta"s mother, contacts Miorine to advocate continuing "Quiet Zero"—a venture led by Miorine"s father that promises to halt all conflict. Prospera appears as another political player with concealed agendas, and it is unclear whether she truly prioritizes Suletta"s safety for her but hope persists. Meanwhile, rumors swirl that the project may conceal ulterior motives. These whispers echo through the halls of power.
