When a series of mysterious attacks involving Cogito infected AutoReivs occur, Re-l is assigned to investigate, and encounters a humanoid monster. Later, she is attacked by two of these monsters at her home.

Re-l’s life becomes endangered when she falls ill after exposure to the harsh environment. Hoody hatches a cunning plan to trick Raul and return to Romdo. Quinn leads a group on an escape from the Commune using the Rabbit.

Vincent finds a strange book store and an even stranger old man, where he discovers more about his true nature. Re-l and Iggy catch up on the Centzon (the Rabbit, the flying ship that Vincent travels by).

When winds die out, the trio are stranded aboard the Centzon and Re-l finds herself struggling to hold on to her sanity.

A Cogito outbreak spreads through Romdo and the city falls into chaos. Vincent incites the people to revolt, pushing them to hunt down and kill all AutoReivs.
