Comatose Raiel is visited by visions of a schoolgirl Sizer...as Flute
expresses doubts about Sizer's motivations. Their argument is interrupted
by the teary visage of Hamel, who has been wailing about his broken violin
for hours. Raiel snaps instantly to the obvious conclusion: the name of
the manga has to change. The silly humor of each characters new title
unexpectedly gives way to a fierce emotional quarrel between Flute and
Hamel, as each treads right on the other's sore spots. It ends with Hamel
hitting her...and Flute fleeing the party.
Guitar and Bass look upon the crystal that holds Pandora's body. We
flashback to Hamel as a small child, learning to play the violin from
Pandora...his mother. Flute brings Hamel his Violin...held together with
string. {EIR}

Trom has been tuning out the conversation as he remembers again the fall
of his country...any concern over his wellbeing is oblierated by Hamel
pawning Raiel's piano, and the two destroying the square in retribution.

succeeds in defeating him. Oboe points out that the lack of the violin
will make it hard to win in the days ahead... but when they try and rely
on Trom's sword, Trom announces that he's fed up with their immature
behaviour, and is leaving the party. Hamel's brutal insults provide the
last nail in the coffin, and Trom stalks off... into a group of monsters.
Held hostage, he's saved by his friends, and rejoins. {EIR}

|

Hamel attempts to get his violin repaired, but it can't be done.
Alternative instruments fail to capture his interest... but the
shopkeeper's interest is snagged by Flute's crucifix, which he places a
very high value on. Trom suddenly grabs the cross, looks at Flute teary
eyed, and thrusts it back at her with no comment. Flute refuses to sell
the cross, since it is the only clue to her parents identity: she had it
in her hand when she was found. The shopkeeper mistakes Hamel and Flute
for lovers, and Hamel stalks out. Raiel has found a map of the world, and
the party decides to head through Sforzando, in the hopes that someone
there can repair the violin. Meanwhile, as Sizer arrives back in Hamelin,
she is brutally attacked by a furious Drum. {EIR}

Guitar decides to stay out of the fight this time, and see which is
stronger. Sizer's speed enables her to dodge Drum easily, and she plays
upon her scythe like a Flute. Playing Ride of the Valkyrie, spirits begin
to draw near, and 8 more Sizer's appear: the Valkyrie. The destructive
foce of 9 Sizers topples the tower and defeats Drum...until a dragon zooms
from below and chomps Sizer in two. Drum stands, 4 dragons where his arm
should be. Their firey breath destroys the remaining Valkyrie, and Sizer
herself. As Drum shouts in triumph, Guitar begins to giggle...and the real
Sizer is reveal, seated on Drum's back, her scythe hooked under his neck.
Bass puts a stop to the fight here...and chides Sizer severely for
irresponsible behavior -- zaps her with God's Thunder. He charges her
again with finding the Box, and sends Guitar and Drum off to destroy
Sforzando...as Hamel gets the party lost in the woods. {EIR}
