The episode unfolds amidst a crisis at the college, with Philomela Sargant at the center of a dark and complex situation. The faculty is on high alert as Philomela, who has transformed into a dragon-like creature, traverses the underground veins—a network of magical pathways.

Chise Hatori is deeply involved in the events. She and a group of students, including Isaac and Zoe, are escorted by Chise’s guardian, Elias, to navigate the underground passages safely. This unusual method is necessary due to the dangerous nature of the veins, which are inaccessible to ordinary humans.

During their journey through this mystical network, the students discuss the nature of magic and the differences between mages and sorcerers.

Meanwhile, Philomela’s grandmother, a key figure in the unfolding drama, is seen orchestrating a ritual. She is cold and calculating, showing little regard for Philomela’s well-being. Despite her transformation, Philomela is torn, tormented by her actions and her longing to reunite with her deceased parents.

The faculty, including the headmaster, grapples with the situation, debating the ethics of their actions and the best way to protect the students.

In a poignant moment, Philomela, in her draconic form, reflects on her deeds and the reasons behind them. She is haunted by the absence of memories of her parents and her desperate desire to be acknowledged by them, even in her monstrous state.

The episode reaches its climax as Chise and her companions confront Philomela.
