Volume 1: In Dogura's facility, Nowa is subjected to invasive torture and is further seen in her cell, hopelessly grasping at vague memories of her master, Alleyne. Meanwhile, an invasion is launched upon Hinomoto. Tomoe and her fellow Musha-Miko fend off the intruders, and a seemingly lone Dogura is cornered by Tomoe, who declares she will not allow any human trafficking to commence. Dogura grins and retorts that he is not alone and revels at the thought of being able to condition such a powerful warrior as Tomoe.
