Synopsis
Helba offers the group a strategic base for what will be their assault on this new omnipotent entity. Before that, each member of the group must decide if this is a fight they want to participate in or not, since the odds are not good. In turn, each person gives his or her reasons for participating, but in the end, they all choose to go. Tsukasa isn't sure he's up to it, and in an attempt to encourage him, Crim tells him Subaru's secret.
