Everything must have been to straining for Alina , for she had passed out before she was aware out of it in the heat of the moment. Throughout the whole evening , she had been keeping in mind to manage her breathing and stress despite the conflict she was expressing toward her father , but seeing him push her and take the katana in her place , and seeing him attacked by shadows pushed her past the breaking point .

When she opened her eyes again , she found herself back in her room , with the other members of SEES by her bed . There were Yukari , Shinjiro , Fuuka , Akihiko and Koromaru , but no one else in the room . They were all very worried about Alina , especially when they didn't have the means to treat her fever readily available . Alina was beginning to wonder where everyone was , but the thought of them made Cid's voice echo through her mind , telling her to pull herself together . At that time she realized that the mansion was split into two dimensions linked by a P-Link , just as it had happened in Geggokan before .

" everyone ... ? What ... happened ... ? " as Alina tried to recall the sequence of events before she passed out, the terrifying truth resurfaced in her mind , she anxiously looked at them " what happened to my father ?! Where is he now ?! "

" l—listen ... Casper ... " Yukari tried to convey to her what happened as gently as possible , but she couldn't say anything

" no ... are you ... is he ... ? " Alina realized what they were trying to say " how ... how did this happen "

" this ... isn't easy for us to say ... " nobody knew how to tell Alina what happened , but Shinjiro still thought it was only fair for her to know what happened , or she would continue to feel anxious " Yamagishi said she sensed three powerful shadows in the library , so we opened the gate to try and help you "

" when we managed to arrive at the scene , your father ... well ... " Akihiko couldn't continue his words

" maybe ... maybe he was just injured ! " Alina stammered, while clearly remembering that her father's injuries seemed fatal " some first aid could've saved him ! "

" the Lunar Nation didn't allow us to approach you or your father , it was like they specifically came here to assassinate the two of you . Two of them appeared , one tried to kidnap you , while the other set the whole library on fire "

" what ?! "

" ... including ... Mr. Nanjo ... we couldn't even get close to him ... "

" okay ... cough ! ... stop ... I don't think ... I can take this ... anymore ... cough ! Cough ! " Alina stammered as she clutched her chest , she seemed to be in great pain

" hey ! Pull yourself together ! " Cid's voice echoed in Alina's mind " what happens to you affects me here , too ! "

" cough ! ... right ... a  P-Link "

On the other side , Mitsuru, Aigis , Ken and Junpei were surrounding Cid , who sat on Alina's empty bed , clutching his chest and gasping anxiously . Some time after Alina had left them in the dark corridor when she went to confront her father, the mansion was split into two dimensions . Which meant that they were trapped in the mansion , just as they had been trapped in their high school . Besides Alina and Cid being linked by a P-Link , the other pairs were Shinjiro and Aigis , Akihiko and Ken , Fuuka and Junpei and Yukari and Mitsuru . After that , Alina remained seated on her bed , with one hand clutching her chest , she kept her gaze downward while trying to calm her agitated breathing
