Summary[]

Garm remembers his early human life as Roy, a infantryman charging an enemy base only to be seriously injured and fall to the ground and become an Incarnate while receiving "medical treatment". He fights alongside Hank against the Confederates, when Garm is proud to remember the trust he placed in Hank and fight alongside him.In the present day, Garm watches Hank fall over the edge of the cliff and flees as Coup de Grace shoots at him. The rest of the squad pursue Garm, who has been wounded by the repeated bullets, as they see him with new night vision goggles. Garm fights back, eliminating half of the squad before reinforcements from the Muzzle Peak Lookout head out, including Liza and Claude.

Hank saw Elaine when he was unconscious. When he woke up, he found Schaal beside him. Hank was surprised by Schaal's appearance, but he felt relieved once he knew the details of the reason. Schaal tells Hank that her father was suddenly resurrected and transformed into a beast shortly after the Whitechurch incident.No one knew the reason at the time, but she shot her father with a shotgun as an extradition to him and told how her father regained consciousness at the last moment and said goodbye to her.Schaal fully understands how Hank felt when he killed her father and understands that he did so to prevent her father from turning into a beast and causing destruction. Schaal believes that before her father died, he wanted to say thank for Hank to save him before he was terrified of turning into a beast.Hank is surprised and confused that Schaal would understand and forgive him. He doesn't understand what he is doing or the reason for his oath. He told Schaal that he wanted to know if he had actually saved many of his comrades. He also wants to know whether the comrades he killed sincerely forgive his actions and receive true redemption.

Hank told Schaal that Elaine had not found an antidote or method to turn all Incarnates back into humans at the time. Hank discovered that in the incarnate army, whether it was Schaal's father or others or the comrades who stood with him, they were undoubtedly human beings. It was precisely because of this idea that he was able to regard many Incarnates as Humanity comes to bury. At that time, he only remembered that they had to make an oath to keep the heart of humanity. He knew that in order to fulfill this oath, he killed many of the friends who wanted to live. Hank knew that the more he used the power of his Incarnate power, sooner or later he would face the cruel fate of turning into a beast like his friends. He could not imagine the destruction he would do by becoming the King of Beasts. Looking desperate, Hank asked Schaal if she could kill him before it was too late if he suddenly turned into a beast that couldn't control himself and couldn't turn back into a human again. More importantly, he wished to die now while he still had sense and remembered his friends. But Schaal was overwhelmed and regretfully rejected his request. Hank apologizes to Schaal for deciding to fight Garm again and asking Schaal to remember them when it's all over.

Garm targets Gerald, who is currently commanding, but Gerald knew he would and Garm finds himself surrounded. Gerald will die, but so will Garm, who is pinned in place by wires through his body. Garm is wounded, but not mortally, and he goes to attack Gerald only for Claude to appear and hit him with a grenade launcher, which makes him flee. Claude is unable to stand without Liza's help and berates Gerald for his danger plan. Schaal recalls her experience following Hank on his journey. She finally understood what kind of mentality Hank used to redeem himself and all the incarnations of the beast that his hand blade turned into, and how he felt in the face of fear. Schaal understood that even though she was in despair about Hank asking her to kill him, she still held on to the hope and idea that Hank could survive as a human being. Schaal thought about what she was going to say to Hank and walked out the cave.

Meanwhile, Garm is standing limping by the river due to blood loss as Hank approaches from the other side of the river. Hank deliberately held the grenade to keep Garm close to him. Just as he was about to let himself and Garm die together, Shar suddenly rushed out and shot Garm in the knee with a shotgun. Schaal told Hank that he was human in her eyes, and she promised to kill him if he suddenly transformed into a beast that couldn't control himself and couldn't turn back into a human again. Schaal asked Hank to continue his mission to kill the many dehumanized Incarnat comrades and save their human souls. She also asked Hank to fulfill his oath and fight to the last moment.

Schaal's words gave Hank a glimmer of hope and cheered him up again. Hank understood that perhaps what his heart really wanted to hear was someone's condolences, words of hope that he could survive as a human being, and companions who would be willing to work with him to alleviate his sins. Hank immediately dropped the grenade, Garm dodged Schaal's shot and rushed towards her, Hank transformed into a werewolf again and fought Garm under Schaal's watchful eyes. The coup de grace approaches, but Cloud tells his team to wait. Hank delivers the fatal blow to Garm. Garm praises Hank's performance and briefly restores Roy to his human form, and the two briefly reminisce about their time on the battlefield. Hank shoots Roy shortly after his death, and Schaal asks Hank about Roy's past because she wants to remember what kind of person he was. Hank describes Roy to Schaal and says that if they could go back in time, they might be friends. Soon after, Fatal Shot aims his gun at Hank and Schaal, and Cloud tells Hank that they can finally talk.
