We see that Ovan is still held captive and his left arm has somehow become unlocked. What this all means remains a mystery. The episode title was certainly suitable for this episode. The tension among the guild members reached its peak, making Sakisaka quit the “Twilight Brigade”. Tabby soon follows Sakisaka after she gets in an argument with Haseo. Sino is determined to continue waiting for Ovan to return. It really looks like there’s some mutal interest between Sino and Haseo, but considering this is all inside a “game” I’m not sure how I feel about the whole situation. Sino wears a new outfit at the end of the episode. It would have been nice if it was a completely new outfit, but instead the outfit only changed from white to black. Without a goal for the guild along with conflict among its members Sino ends up disbanding the “Twilight Brigade”. Personally, I don’t think this will change all that much. If this is just a way to show us that they will start heading in a new direction then I’m all for it.
