They also encounter a mysterious girl suffering from memory loss, leading them to uncover secrets about Naberius and the surge in Darker activity. Episode two delves into the player and Matoi's investigation into a sinister conspiracy surrounding ARKS’s true origins and objectives. In episode three, the discovery of the planet Harukotan sets off a new mission as tensions rise between its native Shironians and Kuronites due to an unexpected Kuronite offensive.
