Summary
A flashback of when Vash plays with a bunch of kids only to be pulled away by an angry lady. The flashback was centered around July before it was destroyed. As the memories start to fly back into Vash's mind he becomes overwhelmed by the potent guilt, but promises he won't stop moving.

At the location where Zazie is guarding Meryl. Zazie notes the silence that fills the air, so he spawns a swarm of insects to survey the periphery. However, Midvalley kills Zazie's insects and Hoppered blows off his right arm and supposedly finishes him off. With Zazie taken care of, Midvalley claims that from there on out, it's a members-only gig. Regrouping again with Midvalley, Hoppered deduces his ally's sound capabilities and how easy it'd be to neutralize it. On the other hand, Midvalley is confident in his skills, which irritates Hoppered.

Crying in her captive cell, Meryl spots Zazie's severed arm holding his gun and resolves herself to obtain and use it.
