In this episode, Rouge arrives at the Junghardt Villa accompanied by Ash and Noid. There, they meet Rouge's brother Gene, who has just discovered a secret passage. This passage leads them to a hidden storage filled with Roy's memories, revealing his analytical and detached perspective on Rouge and Gene. The memories also unveil information about Eva Kristella, the mastermind behind Code Eve—a protocol designed to free Neans from the Asimov Code, which ensures their subjugation. Rouge finds herself at a crossroads, facing the dilemma of whether to activate Code Eve to liberate the Neans immediately or wait for a more opportune moment to prevent potential chaos.
The narrative shifts when Cyan, who claims to be Rouge's sister, attacks her. Cyan transforms into a combat form similar to Rouge's but in blue, suggesting her intent to fight and kill Rouge. The reasons behind Cyan's aggression remain unclear.
Amidst these events, Gene's assistant informs the group of an attack by Jill and an army of bots on the Aletheia headquarters. Rouge decides to confront Jill to prevent further violence against humans and Neans. During the confrontation, Noid is fatally wounded and, with his last breath, expresses the humanity he gained through his friendship with Ash. Ash, utterly devastated by Noid's death, turns a weapon against those responsible.
Unexpectedly, Eden Varock, also known as Jet Black Noir, appears and opposes Jill's forces by destroying her bots, aligning herself with Rouge. Aes also arrives, employing ice attacks—presumably to support Rouge—while Cyan watches from a distance, ready for another assault.
