===Path of Thorns (2) (Hiroo)===
Despite the attempts the ninjas make to attack her, Maria's thorns make it impossible for them to get near her, forcing them to abandon one member of their group and escape. Maria informs the Protagonist that, just as there are Transients who struggle in the public eye, there are also Transients who use deceitful means in order to survive. As Maria releases the captured ninja, Ryota, who was wondering why the Protagonist was taking so long, walking in with the others. The distraction allows several angels to come in. They inform Maria that, after the disappearance of another guild member, {{Transient icon|Arsalan}}, they've been shadowing the remaining guild leaders in case they were attacked. However, when Maria begins to openly question their methods after they say Zabaniyya will head the interrogation, the angels, upset about Maria's expansion of the Missionaries territory and membership and suspicious that she had something to do with Arsalan's disappearance, suddenly turn on her. Despite Ryota's attempts to get them to co-exist, the angels continue to taunt Maria, claiming she has no understanding of their feelings. Fortunately, the argument is interrupted by {{Transient icon|Gabriel}}, a celebrity pop star associated with the Missionaries, who diffuses the situation with her presence alone. As the angel leave in pursuit of the ninja, who escaped in the chaos, Gabriel invites the group to a concert she's holding at the hospital, though she literally has to drag Kengo into going.
As the concert hits intermission, the group are impressed by how good Gabriel's music is. Maria explains that Gabriel's Sacred Artifact has the power to calm people, though she never uses it during concerts as her star power is enough to do the job for her. However, she's become worried that members of the guild have become distrustful of anyone different from them ever since Arsalan disappeared.
Cut to Missionaries church, the angels bring the ninja who escaped to Zabaniyya. Despite the ninja's claim that he won't reveal anything to him, Zabaniyya informs him that his Sacred Artifact's power to cause unending pain will eventually force him to talk.
Cut to hospital. Mineaki is approached by several ninjas, who he chastises for going back on their word by attacking a place he was working at. The ninjas apologize and explain to Mineaki, their apparent superior, that their only intention was to expose a secret Maria has been keeping in order to destabilize the Missionaries.
Cut to concert hall. As the group continues to wait out intermission to end, the Protagonist runs into {{Transient icon|Hati}}, Gabriel's self appointed top fan, during a zerg rush for Gabriel's merchandise, who offers to help them get through the chaos in order to get through to the merch stand.
