Episode Title:
The New World.
Episode Description:
Watching a future without Kakeru, Koharu breaks down in tears and rejects the Reset, causing her fire manipulating skills to go out of control. Everyone wakes up from their slumber, thinking the Reset has been initiated, but Masamune finds that it was just a message from Aion to test their decision. As the energy flow from The World's Tower to Norn9 has been reversed, the entire island is falling apart. Heishi telepathically tells Koharu and Kakeru to evacuate as Kakeru claws through the mountains of flames. In the end, Kakeru makes a choice to walk towards the future with her instead of living in one created by other people, and the two share a kiss, breaking the Reset. Sorata vows to stay by Aine's side after learning how she protected him for 200 years in a cold sleep to keep him alive. The ship collapses and the rest of the teenagers fly off in Norn9's extra, tinier capsules, attempting to rescue Koharu and Kakeru as the two free fall through the sky. The pressure of the wind pulls them away, and lastly, Kakeru chooses to let go just as the ship explodes. Aine, choosing free will of love for Sorata, lets him go at the same moment and tells him to live in the "true future"...
