Seeing the circumstances continuing to deteriorate even with B.A.B.E.L. staying neutral to Comerica's retrieval mission, Fujiko decides to break out alone to investigate the prologue behind Carrie and append some kind of euphoric epilogue while Kaoru and her teammates bristle with the resentful frustration that they cannot help Minamoto who is anguished that Carrie has made that choice for him as they endeavor to escape from their confinement by entreating Taizou and then initiating their own escape plan. The political and sentimental frenzy obfuscates Minamoto's computation of the fundamental ethical dilemma: while his esper charges are important and their development is his primary responsibility, Comerica sees Carrie as nothing more than a scientific mistake to be erased. Furthermore, setting aside Comerica for Japan, Kyousuke is always on the prowl for more espers to wield as soldiers -- Carrie being his quintessence volition because she knows no better. Carrie brushes aside Minamoto's explanation attempts before conscripting him into a whirlwind tour all over Japan not caring about the circumstances. While he fails in coercing induction into P.A.N.D.R.A. as the price for his intercession against the Comerican agents, Kyousuke does give B.A.B.E.L. the perfect excuse to abandon the unethical neutrality and come to Minamoto's aid. Appalled at everybody fighting over her, Carrie cries out an anguished entreaty for her euphoric memories. Kyousuke's departure, Dr. Sakaki leading Kaoru and her teammates in sweeping away the Comerican agents, and Fujiko arm-twisting a comprehensive withdrawal of the Comerican president makes Carrie realize that she needs to resolve her unfinished business quickly. Carrie now in dormancy within Minamoto's heart with the promise of perpetual proximity, Caroline rockets off into space to realize her childhood dream.
