Cold open[]

At dawn, the Ghosts dress in their old Organization uniforms. This causes Helen to roll on the floor with laughter.[6]

Uniforms[]

Sid recounts the Rabona guards' efforts to salvage all the Claymore uniforms in Pieta. With plenty of spares in a warehouse, the Ghosts should have an adequate supply.[7]

When Miria asks if everyone is ready to leave, Galk asks why the rush. Galatea explains that the awakened Cassandra has accelerated her speed and may arrive two or three days earlier than expected. Or even today.[8]

Scene 129a
Back in uniform

Sid gives Raki encouragement to rescue Clare.[9]

Cocoon[]

On seeing the awakened emerging from the cocoon, Raki blurts out Priscilla's name. When Helen questions him on this, Raki only says the awakened resembles someone he knows.[10]

Galatea cannot detect Clare's aura and sees little hope of pulling out Clare. But Raki approaches the cocoon, despite Galatea's warning. Deneve defends Raki's decision.[11]

When Raki lays on hands and speaks to the cocoon, tentacles pierce his body. Galatea calls for help, but Raki says the cocoon is only probing his body. The tentacles soon withdraw.[12]

Clare exits[]

Confession[]

Raki emotionally breaks down. Tearfully, he confesses that despite his great size and strength, Clare is still the stronger one. And that he only wishes to be at Clare's side forever.[13]

A section of the cocoon crumbles and out comes Clare.[14]

Danger[]

But Clare's internal organs are spilling out from the vertical incision running down the length of her torso. While Raki and Yuma press together the incision to keep Clare's organs from spilling out, Deneve quickly sews with crude stitching, as if she were closing a cadaver.[15]

Deneve explains that the Organization splits open the trainees when they are young girls, then implants Yoma flesh and blood in every part of the body. But they never solved the problem of healing the initial implant incision. Sutures were used to keep the warriors whole.[16]

Friends rejoined[]

Clare regains consciousness, then recognizes Raki. The Ghosts look on as Raki hugs a tearful Clare with all his might.[17]
