Episode Title:
Neither Malice, Nor Hatred.Episode Description:
Zazie fires off his Blue Thorn shindans at Jeel to no avail. Lawrence tells Lag that despite his intention to deliver people's hearts, it is the government who stole their hearts, as well as Gauche's and his mother, Anne Seeing. While Lag begins to hesitate from Lawrence's words, Cabernet awakens and heads to where Zazie and Jeel are fighting. It captures Jeel and proceeds to drain his spirit. Jeel realizes that Cabernet is attracted to the heart that now surrounds him when Zazie kept firing on his body. Jeel's flashbacks are shown, where he escapes from the research facility and joins Reverse in order to take revenge on the government for experimenting on them. Zazie changes his mind and rescues Jeel from Cabernet but both land at the bottom of the cape. Jeel recovers and climbs up the cliff to rejoin his group, while Lag and Zazie follow after him. At the top, the inspectors order Jeel to dispose of Zazie. Jeel hesitates but knocks Zazie off the cliff as well as Lag, but Niche and Wasiolka rescue them. The group rallies and confronts Jeel once more. Zazie defeats Jeel by firing his Blue Thorn, not with hatred or malice, but with sadness. Jeel is overwhelmed, but is then killed by Garrard. Zazie mourns Jeel's death and encourages Lag to deal with Cabernet, and convinces him to stick to his faith. Lag confronts Lawrence, Gauche, Roda and the artificial spirits, but realizes he still cannot fire shindans. His heart restores and Lag discovers he can use Gauche's Gymnopedie, and fires at Gauche, which splits away from him and hits Cabernet, destroying its wings. Lag turns to face Lawrence's group but discovers they have escaped in the confusion. At the same time, Cabernet retreats by burrowing itself underground.
