Defiant Soul.Episode Description:
On Ange's first day as a soldier, Arzenal commander Alektra Maria "Jill" von Loewenherz assigns her to the 1st Squadron led by Captain Zola Axberg, a hedonistic woman, and introduces Ange to the unit. Ange is then supervised by Salia Tereshkova, a quiet lieutenant and Zola's second in command. Ange is forced to wear a bloodstained deceased pilot's suit. Despite her initial misgivings, Ange agrees to wear the suit. In the Paramail simulator, Ange recalls that her aerial lacrosse matches are similar to the Paramail controls. After days of training, Zola reveals that Ange is doing well in her routine and Salia gives Ange some supplies and sleeping quarters. At the canteen, Ange is joined by Zola's allies, who remind her that her royalty status is now gone and she must accept that she is a Norma. Ange leaves the table and Coco reveals to Ange that she likes her and wants to go to the Misurugi Empire and gives Ange her pudding. In her room, she dumps Coco's pudding and writes a letter requesting for her release. Jill reads Ange's request but declines and Zola attempts to violate her. Ange fights back and Zola's artificial eye pops out. During their altercation, the command is alerted that a singularity portal is about to open and the 1st Squadron is dispatched. In their dispatch, Ange attempts to flee while Salia pursues her and Coco attempts to join Ange in going back to the Misurugi Empire. However, the portal opens and a DRAGON kills Coco. Ange is now in shock from what she sees from the DRAGONs' attack.
