Menou, Akari and Mono arrive in Garm and are told that in two days the 'ceremony' regarding Akari will take place. We learn more about Menou's background--how she was the sole survivor of a minor disaster caused by an Otherworlder, how she had her memory blanked as a result, and chose to immitate Flare, an Executioner. Akari has been completely fooled and thinks of Menou as a friend, and takes offense when Menou wants to put work ahead of touring the city with her. Menou is given the job of investigating the disappearances of several women from the city, and passes the task off to Mono in order to keep a close eye on Akari. |
