Fire rained down upon the Architects' Domain.
The castle was being destroyed as flames consumed the surrounding grounds.
Sasaki frowned slightly.
The others watched in disbelief.
Mao quickly opened her umbrella, causing the flames to slide harmlessly off it.
Kural created a protective box around himself, while the old man stopped the flames before they could touch him.
"I need to fix this..." Time muttered.
The old man lifted his cane.
Time around them suddenly stopped.
Only Time, Mao, and Kural were able to move.
Mao looked at Sasaki.
She slowly walked toward him and grabbed his hand, tears streaming down her face.
Kural scratched his head.
"This is such a drag."
As Mao held Sasaki's hand, she looked up at him.
And realized he was looking back.
Her hands began to tremble.
She slowly backed away and tried to restrain Sasaki with her chains.
But Sasaki simply flicked them away.
The chains instantly burned to ash.
Kural created a box around Sasaki and attempted to crush him.
But the box stopped at Sasaki's silhouette, unable to touch him.
Sasaki suddenly laughed.
He covered his face with one hand while creating a sword with the other.
A small crown formed above his head.
Through the gaps between his fingers, two yellow eyes stared back.
Sasaki was no longer himself.
The Coalescence had emerged.
Sivarnte began walking toward Mao.
Deep inside his mind, Sasaki spoke.
"Don't kill Mao."
Sivarnte walked past her and continued toward the others.
Kural raised his fists, preparing himself for a fight.
The old man quickly attempted to rewind time.
But Sivarnte stopped him.
In an instant, he subdued the old man's hand.
Kural rushed toward Sivarnte from behind and threw a punch.
Without even looking, Sivarnte caught his fist.
He kicked Kural away and raised his sword, preparing to kill him.
"Sasaki!"
Sivarnte froze.
His eyes shifted toward Mao.
"..."
He slowly lowered his sword and closed his eyes.
The sword and crown disappeared.
Sasaki opened his eyes.
His eyes had returned to their usual gray.
He looked down at Kural.
"Please forgive my rudeness. Allow me to introduce myself."
Sasaki adjusted his tie and straightened his posture.
"Ahem. I am Sasaki Oyuki, Architect of Stars."
He smiled.
"And I have come back to help."
Sasaki looked toward Mao.
She suddenly collapsed.
Mao stared at him for a moment before closing her eyes and passing out.
The old man lowered his arms and picked his cane back up.
Kural got to his feet and walked back toward Time.
Sasaki walked over to Mao and picked her up.
He carried her back inside the castle.
Once inside, Sasaki raised his hand.
"Reverse Recovery."
A wave of energy spread throughout the domain.
Everything that Sasaki had burned was restored.
The destroyed castle and surrounding grounds returned to their original state.
Sasaki stopped at the entrance.
"I'm sorry for letting Siv kill Love."
He paused.
"It won't happen again."
Then, Sasaki walked inside the castle.
