Episode 2-12

Soren
Soren awakens on the forest floor where Drayon left him. He sees Alcia naked closeby and limps toward her. He wraps his cloak around her and carries her back to The Launch. His calm mind realizes Alcia had come to help him and is thankful she saved his life. The state they left her in made it impossible not to feel sorrow for her.

The sun had already risen and shown its light across the forest by the time Soren made it back to the Launch. He sets Alcia on the doorstep of her cabin, gives it a knock, and leaves to watch Minori pick her up without being spotted.

Zade finds him and Soren breaks down while cursing the name of his old master which awakens Rin in the cottage nearby. Rin enters the courtyard where Soren reveals Zade as a traitor and asks her to tell the others. With Rin gone the two fight with their blades and without magic. The sound of their steel blades clashing echoes throughout the village and they are both left sweaty and exhausted. Zade leaves him there and tells him to move on.

Trivia

 * Zade checked on Alcia before finally leaving the village. He saw the state she was in and felt anger.
 * Alice's quote is the first reveal of the Kikono's intentions with The Launch and their intentions to revive the Alpha Sprite. The pacifist monkhood isn't as peaceful as it seemed.
 * This is the final episode Zade spends in the Launch, marking the start of a new act.
