Kaie realizes that Lena is getting too attached to 86s and the Spearhead. She told her to take one step at a time and told her to transfer out since her belief will come back to haunt her. After a few weeks, another battle begins, and Lena uses the maps she was working on earlier to help Spearhead, and they set up in superior positions. The battle didn’t last that long, but Lena and Spearhead were victorious. Unfortunately, Kaie’s Juggernaut gets destroyed and crushed, leading to Kaie’s death after the enemy unit attacks.
Lena thinks that she is responsible for Kaie’s death since she couldn’t protect her. She regrets that she couldn’t see the enemies coming, and she apologizes to Spearhead that Kaie is dead. Theo misunderstood the situation and confronted Lena. Theo scolded Lena and told her that she was pretending to love 86s and Spearhead since she let Kaie die in her hands. He deduces that Lena is pretending and her love is fake. She also told Lena that she is staying safe in luxury but let her comrade died.
Thoe realizes that Lena doesn’t even know their names, and she calls them with code names. He scolds Lena for that, and she is careless, not even to know their real name. Lena got shuttered after hearing all of that, but she knows that the real name is confidential during work. Thoe got punished by the Spearhead for jumping to conclusions without knowing what has happened. But they agreed with what Theo said. They punished him after realizing the way he confronts the matter was inappropriate manner.
