Synopsis[]
Looking down at Maya Kamina from the RahXephon, Ayato Kamina is faced with the reality that his mother was wanting for the blood within him. Allegretto breaches the room with Maya moving to stand upon it, noticing Reika Mishima for the first time; stating "it cannot be". Falsetto then breaches the room with the RahXephon and Falsetto responding by approaching the surface.
As the dolem and mecha rise, Maya realises that Reika is Ixtili. Returning to the surface Reika asks that the RahXephon sing the song that will one day allow all to become one. Falsetto attacks with RahXephon defending, however after the attack reika is no-where to be seen; only her scarf is noted to float down in front of Ayato. On Falestto's next attack, the RahXephon is unaffected and strikes back, reaching for the dolem's neck, shattering the body below. Momentarily before the head shatters, a corridor to the outside is opened transporting the RahXephon, Ayato and Haruka Shitow.
Waking up on a beach, Ayato looks up at the RahXephon and explores his surroundings, seeing Tokyo Jupiter from the outside for the first time. Haruka has already risen and is seeking a transmitter in order to make contact with the Lilya Litvyak. Heading into the abandoned stores in the area, Ayato and Haruka find dry clothes and Ayato tries to make a call from a phone; however it is disabled. Continuing through the stores, they find food and water supplies; when looking at some goods Ayato looks at some items that expired in 2015, unaware that the current year is actually 2027.
Seeking shelter in one of the boats, Ayato queries the year after hearing about the 2024 Pyongyang Olympic games. Haruka finally reveals the truth of the date. Ayato on hearing this seeks reassurance from Haruka that his friends and family are still alive within the barrier.
Awaking the next day, Haruka finds Ayato has departed, leaving a note. Walking the streets of the abandoned town, Ayato heads towward the Tokyo Jupiter barrier, passing a ringing pay phone. Answering the call he hears his mother who warns him to be careful, advising him that those who wrecked their city will try to make him forget. Ayato's questions back to his mother are ignored, with her warning continuing, eventually descending into latin before cutting off.
Running towards the barrier, he reaches a cliff face, with Haruka eventually catching up to him. She explains that there is a 10 kilometer diameter surrounding the barrier and lets him know she does not have the means of getting him back within the barrier. Together the two travel back to the boat on a bicycle, Haruka lost in thought. She makes Ayato aware that she is trying to find a way to make contact for a pickup.
Back at the boat, Haruka discovers and feeds a cat then asks Ayato if she can keep him. The cat hears something and runs outside, open leaving the two hear aircraft; Haruka advising Ayato to get off the boat with the cat so she can turn the craft into a beacon.
In the morning, Haruka and Ayato are stood on the pier, seeing the Lilya Litvyak approach. Haruka finally reveals her role within TERRA.
