Cut to Shibuya. The group manages to use the pudding rapids Ryota made to escape the angels and make their way to a guild safe house. She informs the group that safe houses are established as a way to connect the number of Portals within a guild. As the group rests, Kengo asks Maria what the angels were talking about when they said she wasn't 'the real Maria'. After explaining that she was held up by Nyarlathotep in order to make her look suspicious, Maria reveals that, some time after arriving in Tokyo, she befriended the real Maria and took on her identity upon her death. They then decide that, as Arsalan, the only one that has any real control over Zabaniyya and the angels, is still missing, the best course of action is to save Gabriel, but can't go to the police as they are resistant to dealing with Transient related crimes. Fortunately, the Protagonist remembers what Nyarlathotep told him, and Maria realizes he must have been referring to Aoyama Cemetery, where the original members of the Missionaries formed the guild. However, she reveals getting there is a problem as that area is in the middle of a turf war with another guild: the [[Tycoons]], a guild in Roppongi who's sole interest is gaining wealth and status. | Cut to Shibuya.

Cut to Nogizaka Tunnel. Despite the search for Maria and the Protagonist's group, a contingent of angels is being forced back after failing to defend Nogizaka Tunnel by forces connected to the Tycoons.

Despite the search for Maria and the Protagonist's group, a contingent of angels is being forced back after failing to defend Nogizaka Tunnel by forces connected to the Tycoons. The Transient in charge of the Tycoon's forces, {{Transient icon| Hakumen}}, is gloating about her victory when a draconian Transient, {{Transient icon|Ophion}}, appears and, after a brief back and forth, demands that Hakumen hand over Gabriel and Arsalan to him. However, when Hakumen claims that Ophion got to them first and is trying to point the blame at her, Ophion abruptly leaves, confused as to why he messed up. | ||
Cut to Aoyama Cemetery. The Protagonist's group have made it to the cemetery without any sort of incident. As they begin searching for any clues as to where Nyarlathotep took Gabriel, Shiro's Sacred Artifact starts shining on its own, revealing some sort of underground cemetery. Shiro and Maria suspect that this event is a 'collision of worlds', an area where part of a world that's connected to Tokyo intersects with it. However, just as they discover evidence that Nyarlathotep brought Gabriel and Arsalan here, Zabaniyya and the rest of the angels show up. Despite knowing how close they are to finding his fellow guild members, Zabaniyya refuses to allow it to interfere with punishing Maria for what she did. Knowing they can't get through to him without Arsalan, Kengo intends to take advantage of Zabaniyya's need to do the dirty work alone to tie him up long enough for the others to find him and Gabriel. | Cut to Aoyama Cemetery.
