  1. V6C1Ep.1: "The place where we belong"
  2.   summary:
  3.         Maia thought she could walk the same path as the Squad and survive outside Arius.
  4.     But as she went into the criminal underworld she was scammed and preyed upon.
  5.     When she no longer wanted to do dirty works, she was ridiculed for forfeiting
  6.     the only thing she could do. She became disillusioned and thought the hope of
  7.     living outside was but an impossible dream.
  8.     She returns to Arius where at least she could find comfort in its familiarity.
  9.     She is then welcomed by her senpai, Subaru. Subaru tells Maia that even if the
  10.     rest of the world rejects her, Subaru and Arius will still be here for her.

  14. V6C2Ep.2: "What student should be doing"
  15.   summary:
  16.         Sensei is spending time at Trinity with the Make-up Work Club when the topic
  17.     of Trinity General Examination comes up. The Exam encompasses all subjects,
  18.     and all students. The questions are provided by an external organization to
  19.     remove potential bias and to focus on pure knowledge.
  20.     Intrigued by how other students approach the coming exam, Sensei then talks
  21.     to other Trinity students, including Suzumi, whose presence in Trinity soothes
  22.     Sensei for some reason.
  23.     After talking to all the named students other than the Tea Party, two reserved
  24.     students approach Sensei for an audience.

  28. V6C1Ep.3: "Everyday is like a dream come true"
  29.   summary:
  30.         Sensei follows the two students back into their room, only to be asked to wait
  31.     outside for 5 minutes. After the short wait, Sensei once again entered the room,
  32.     only to find the two students in Arius uniforms. They tell Sensei that after the
  33.     disappearance of Beatrice, which they acknowledge was a good thing, they, like
  34.     the rest of Arius students who were left behind, were unsure of what to do or how
  35.     to survive, until one day a Tea Party student approached them and offered them to
  36.     join Trinity.
  37.    
  38.         The Tea Party recruiter was very frank. She told them part of Trinity were not as
  39.     welcoming of Arius students as she would like, so they would be inducted as
  40.     "transfer students from the countryside" to avoid complications. The recruiter
  41.     told them to think about it long and hard and not to rush to a decision, then left
  42.     them with a number to call. The decisive factor that pushed the two Arius students
  43.     before Sensei to take up the offer was the hope that it could be better than what
  44.     they were enduring. Back in Arius, they slept on something that resembled a bed,
  45.     a good quilt was a luxury, and a worn towel was treasured.
  46.  
  47.         Hearing this, Sensei bows down to the two Arius students before him and apologizes
  48.     for failing to look after them. Surprised by Sensei's move, the Arius students tell
  49.     him they approached him, not to chastise him, but to ask for advice on the upcoming
  50.     "General Examination." They don't know what it is. They don't even know what
  51.     Examination is. And they are afraid of asking other Trinity students because
  52.     everyone seems to know exactly what it is, so they turn to Sensei for help.
  53.  
  54.         Sensei says that this is the first time they see each other's face, and tries to pat
  55.     them on the head, but that scares them and they jump back out of reflex. It is the
  56.     Arius students' turn to apologize, saying they aren’t terrified by Sensei and they
  57.     don’t mean it. Sensei gets the picture, and tells them everything is alright. As
  58.     they slowly approach Sensei and fall into his embrace, Sensei thinks to himself
  59.     that both of them are smaller than the average student. Sensei then explains to
  60.     them what the Exam entails.
  61.  
  62.         The Arius students comment that Arius too had something similar to the Exam, except
  63.     the Arius version was all about combat skills, like telling how many rounds left
  64.     in a magazine by its weight alone, CQC techniques, and how to efficiently destroy
  65.     halos. Now though, they are living a normal school life, free from guard duties in
  66.     the night, free to eat when they want to, and free from being yelled at and thrown
  67.     into a single cell. Even now, they wake up to nightmares of their lives in Arius.
  68.  
  69.         By contrast, they even think Trinity students are too friendly to the "new students
  70.    from the countryside." They go to cafés with Trinity students. They can't remember
  71.     the names of all the coffee and cakes; they need to pretend calm when they see them
  72.     make expensive orders; they need to work part time to afford all the amenities; they
  73.     feel the pain of wallet emptying before payday. But they are enjoying their lives.
  74.     And they want those who haven't come to Trinity to have the opportunity to do so as
  75.     well. To have more than one meal a day. To wake up, go to school to study, play with
  76.     friends, then sleep in a warm bed. What student should be doing - studying.
  77.  
  78.         Hearing that, Sensei can't help but pat their heads again, but this time they
  79.     welcome it. They ask Sensei to bring normal school life, studying for exam, to Arius.
  80.     They notice that as time passes, more Arius students have transferred to Trinity,
  81.     although almost all of them are first or second year students. They don't know what
  82.     or how the remaining students in Arius are doing, but they heard rumors that the
  83.     remaining students have cut themselves off from the outside world and continue their
  84.     resistance. Finally, they ask Sensei to look after the Squad.
