Knowing that Endless is about to repeat history by causing a second Overdrive, Haru instructs Elie (who is still in the original world) to destroy it- and thus himself. She refuses at first but finally listens, using the power of Etherion to destroy Endless. After that, Musica found Elie and asks her where Haru is, but to his utmost surprise, she is unable to recognize Plue or himself, wondering who he was and where they were. She has lost her memory… again. Then it was cut to one year after the final battle, where it shows the lives of the gang after the battle. The arc ends off with a surprise ending.
