We pick up with Kouki doing his damned best to cut through all of the monster’s tentacle nonsense before Hitomi and the others get erased. Maculata calls to him and warns him of a tentacle attack coming from behind, and Andrew intervenes by using his ultimate, Transition “Geminis Decide,” to defend Kouki. After the attack is stopped, Andrew asks Kouki if he’s okay and tells him it’s when things are bad that he has to stay calm and look for an opening. Kouki is too surprised to do more than thank him, and Maculata comments that she wishes he’d be that obedient when she tells him to do things. Kouki immediately complains that she should save her nagging for later since they are literally under attack right now.
The Monster is yelling and calling to Sui as it tries to grab her again, so you tell Sui to get away. Maculata whips the monster partly out of annoyance now, and the Monster briefly calls her name instead. Maculata demands that the monster stop with the voice mimicry because she knows just where the giant freak is going to go, then creates a cloth barrier to shield Sui. Sui calls to her in concern, and Maculata talks to Sui about how she tried to not interfere with her life more than necessary, but she has one thing she wants to say at least. Maculata says her not being able to fill in for Shizuku in Sui’s heart is due to her own inability to do so, but she wants Sui to know that her mother isn’t the only one in her life willing to put their lives down to save her.
The Monster’s tentacle bangs on the barrier and slowly breaks through while Maculata makes her speech, and she stalls as best she can by binding the thing with her threads. Sui is concerned for Maculata, and Maculata admits she’s losing the strength check against the monster before it knocks her away. Kouki and Andrew steel themselves as they jump in to hold the line, and Sui starts remembering how Maculata stepped in to save her one time.
Sui has a flashback to her uncle calling Maculata a know nothing bitch for sticking her nose in while they’re trying to raise a freak like Sui properly. Maculata scoffs that their “proper” way is outdated. She argues that people decide how they want to be, not because someone else is pushing their ego onto them. PubLiC DeCeNCy? DeViAnT? He can eat a dick with that obsolete thinking for all she cares. Maculata will be taking Sui with her and the relatives can cry themselves a river if they care so much. Sui notes that her relatives were super pissed about that argument, but she herself felt better about hearing all that. It’s because Maculata expressed those thoughts that Sui could be with her and live with her.
Back to the present, Sui starts talking about how Maculata always came close to her and is fighting for her sake right now. There’s also Mokdai, Crowne, and everyone else here to support her, and Sui admits she obsessed over her mother and avoided other people. She also admits it was awful of her to make everyone worry while she stayed cooped up in her shell. You either express concern for Sui, tell her she wasn’t awful, or empathize with her wanting to stay away from others. C gets an extra line where Sui thanks you but says she feels she might have been too coddled in her case.
Anyways, Sui asks you for opinions on what she should do. She wants to apologize and thank everyone but isn’t sure how. Your phone immediately starts shining in response and tells you it’s found a path for Sui and gives you the confirmation window to use it. You show your phone to Sui and say she already knows and that it’s right there. Sui is surprised to see the hero window come up for her, but she smiles in acceptance. She comments that she’s found her answer while wandering, then tells you she wants to save everyone. And once she does that, she wants to thank them, apologize to them, and say she wants to continue being with them. She also wants to say goodbye to her mother, and she asks if you’ll help her.
You agree or say you’ll do it if she’s sure about this. Sui thanks you, then asks you to turn her into a hero. You hit the confirm button on your screen, and Sui is enveloped in light. Everyone else including the Monster is surprised by this turn of events, and the light is described as turning into threads before forming into Sui’s hero outfit (so basically a magical girl transformation too). Sui is shocked once she sees her hero dress, and you declare the transformation is a success or tell Sui it’s beautiful. B gets an extra line where she thanks you, then segues back into her staring at her dress.
Sui thinks back to that one day where her mother showed her a dress design she wanted her to wear, and she says it looks exactly like that one. She cries a little as she holds herself, thanking her mom and telling her she loves her. Meanwhile, the Monster continues calling for Sui, but since Shizuku is now out and out gone, the voice imitation is starting to crack. Sui glares at the thing and demands it return the people she wants to treasure Now. The Monster roars in response, surprising Sui with the force it shows.
Maculata puts a hand on Sui’s shoulder and tells her it’ll be okay, swearing to not make any of her efforts go to waste. She suggests fighting together, boldly and head on. Sui agrees, and Andrew cheers about the birth of a new hero. Kouki advises Andrew to not expect too much of her since that just adds pressure, but he wishes Sui good luck all the same. Backing up newbies is what veterans like them are supposed to do, and he says Sui can just do whatever she can. Andrew is confused and asks why Kouki couldn’t have just said “good luck” and be done with it, so Kouki complains that humans have complicated feelings about stuff. Andrew accepts this explanation and comments on how hard it is to understand the human heart. You call out to the party and say it’s time to save everyone who was eaten or wish Sui good luck. The latter gets an extra line from Sui where she nods and asks you to take command. The three experienced heroes stand forward with Sui just behind, and so the episode battle launches.
