On the way back from Antarctica, a remnant alchemist of the Bavarian Illuminati, Elza, attempts to retrieve the Custodian's corpse, but is forced to retreat by Shirabe and Kirika. Later, as Tsubasa becomes too worried about the attack to focus on her concert, Maria gives her some encouragement and ends up performing with her during the concert. However, another alchemist, Millaarc, sends Alca-Noise to attack the concert, slaughtering practically everyone in attendance and placing a seal on Tsubasa, who is left emotionally devastated. Meanwhile, as the corpse is analysed by the Americans, it turns into dust when the bracelet on its wrist is scanned.
