This memory starts pretty dramatically, with a vermillion mecha warping space in what seems like some kind of final dungeon slash palace throne room, and the skeevy noble from one of Crow's memories laughing about the vermillion demon lord, the demon god with a thousand weapons etc. He rants a while while Class VII and Crow and Vita stand in a bubble and are unhappy about it.
Crow and Vita come up with a plan to make an opening, and Crow and Rean end up in their own mechas. They fight together to suppress the red mecha, but while Rean is separating the core to rescue the crown prince who is apparently in the red demon, Crow's mecha gets run through. The plan is a success and Rean rescues the prince unharmed. Vita starts talking about Ouroboros and something called the Phantasmal Blaze plan but then realizes Crow hasn't left his mecha.
Crow is released from his mecha, and he has a hole through his chest, through his heart, just where his mecha did. Of course it's too small to be the exact wound he suffered, but having felt Divine Knight battles it's easy to tell it's a sympathetic wound shared across the magic link with their mechas.
Rean is devastated, and one of the girls, the purple haired one, starts trying to heal Crow with magic with the help of a talking cat. It's obvious he can't be saved, his heart is just gone. But the girl's magic is preventing him from being in pain and giving him the chance to talk to his friends one last time. Everyone is devastated as Crow talks about karma being a bitch and apologizes, saying his farewells. Rean is in tears, everyone else is there or near there as Crow says goodbye to everyone individually. Crow pats Rean on the head when Rean tries to refuse that he's dying, telling him he's a spoiled kid, then he starts addressing his closer friends in the class, then his less close ones. Everyone tries to smile through their tears while he thanks them and they respond to his farewells.
He then looks at Rean who is still holding him in tears, and says they need to keep going forward, relentlessly, without looking back.... And then he dies. Everyone really starts to cry.
Rean continues to hold Crow's body in shock and tears.
The noble starts to rant in anger that he's lost a tool, Class VII gets mad, while the noble holds a knife at the prince's neck and starts saying Crow was a waste of his time. Vita is super mad and gets crazy eyes and voice, threatens him and then suddenly Albert's brother shows up and attacks Vita, saying her part in this is over. Everyone else is still reacting to events, but Rean is just clinging to Crow.
Cayenne, the noble asshole, is delighted, thinking Albert's brother is on his side, but it turns out not so much. The girl with the black doll rescues the prince and Albert's brother arrests Cayenne and Vita. Vita is amused and annoyed now that she's figured something out, and the rest of Class VII is confused, except for the blue haired girl who seems to have figured something out about Albert's brother.
Some other people show up. Everyone else catches on that the thing these people have in common is they're Ironbloods, members of Chancellor Osborne's elite. It turns out Albert's brother is one of them. Cayenne seems really confused about this, and why Albert's brother is professing his allegiance to a dead man.
At which point, dramatic entrance, the supposedly dead Chancellor Osborne, that guy Crow shot through the heart, appears, alive and quite well. Shocking everyone but Albert's brother and the two captains.
Cayenne asks what everyone is wondering how is he still alive?? But Osborne offers no explanation. Osborne then explains how Albert's brother will end the conflict and diminish the power of the noble alliance, explaining the politics.
Vita isn't too surprised but she's upset.
Rean is still holding Crow's body and crying while everyone talks about shocking revelations and secrets and politics.
Osborne says he'll let Vita leave, and tells her to tell her group that if they think to stand in his way, he'll crush them beneath his heel. Vita apologies to everyone, asks them to take good care of Crow sadly, and escapes.
The blue haired girl runs to go talk to "gramps" and the others. Osborne praises them. Rean's still holding Crow and crying while the five of them and the black doll girl talk. Osborne assigns various tasks to people and gives Albert's brother the task of cleaning up then occupying the city state of Crossbell.
Finally after a while. Rean sets Crow down, looks down at his body, still in tears, remembers some conversations with Crow, gets mad, finally, and rushes Osborne, grabbing him by the shirt and demanding angrily why he's alive. Everyone tells him to stop but he doesn't listen. But Rean doesn't listen, his voice is breaking as he asks if Crow's whole life was for nothing.
Albert's brother stops him and tells him that Osborne has his reasons, and Rean factors into them more than Rean may think. Rean, shocked, remembers... Osborne carrying him through the snow, suddenly, and praying for him. He looks at Osborne in complete shock and lets him go as Osborne says he's glad Rean remembers.
"I'm glad to finally see you again my son." Osborne acknowledges that he's Rean's father as Rean reels back a step in shock. Osborne then goes on about how Rean will be a great assistant to Osborne's plan, now that he's a national hero. The perfectly useful tool Rean's grown up to be will be so handy in annexing a neighboring nation.
The memory ends.
