Kuu and Setsuna are shopping for food when Kuu sees a sale on letter sets. She remembers Kozue’s statement about giving letters back on the bus in the first episode. Over at the campus, Jin praises Kyoshiro for having two Absolute Angels. Jin rambles on about Kuu not having any battle abilities, but tells Kyoshiro that the campus has the necessary resources to do what Mika attempted to do. All this time, Kyoshiro looks frustrated at the situation. Jin looks at the book he picked out and briefly describes the story as a prince who realized his wishes and therefore had no more need for a “sword”.

This is an obvious reference to the situation imposed on Kyoshiro right now. He was adamant about destroying all the Absolute Angels, but now with the ability to do so, he is showing cold feet in having to destroy his own Absolute Angels. In particular, Kuu (which doesn’t make much sense since he never really showed his affection towards her so far).

Back in her room, Kuu doesn’t know what to write to Kyoshiro. She settles instead for designing the letter and using plenty of white. She’s relatively happy with what she’s doing until she has an image of Kyoshiro stabbing her with his sword. Setsuna comes in and gives Kuu a hug. She tells Kuu that Kyoshiro told her to give her a hug. Kuu breaks out in tears. While Kuu is in the shower, Setsuna is cleaning Kuu’s room and sees the card that Kuu made. Setsuna summons out her mech arm and is about to destroy the letter (along with the table), but decides not to do so.

This was a particularly useless scene overall. The only purpose it served was to establish Setsuna’s somewhat jealous thoughts as she had a momentary sign of it when she wanted to destroy the letter.

Kuu calls Kozue for some help, but hangs up when Kozue answers the phone. Elsewhere, Kyoshiro is trying to rationalize with himself what he has to do. But the thought of Kuu makes him snap a string on his violin. Over at Sojiro’s place, he finds out that Kuu’s makes the Absolute Angel count to five, but doesn’t know how to proceed. At Mika’s place, Mika is trying to increase Kaon’s power and thinks back to the past where she’s injured and the nurse there taking care of her had a very strong resemblance to Kaon.

Here we see that Kyoshiro’s plans are not going well. He’s starting to lose his determination and is frustrated by his emotions towards Kuu. Mika on the other hand is making sure that her Angel is the strongest of them all. Her flashback explains why she has two different eye colors and also why she’s so obsessed over Kaon.

That night, Kuu asks Setsuna how to summon the Absolute Angel powers. Setsuna explains that each Angel relies on a desire to do something and uses a reference item to increase that concentration. Setsuna explains she uses her bells while Kaon uses her earrings and Tarurotte uses her feet. Kuu tries to find what her desire is and tries to summon her powers, but fails. Elsewhere, we see the girl whose only appearance was in the first episode up in a tower. A large feather falls to her and she realizes “it” has begun. Kyoshiro returns home and crashes on his bed. Kuu enters his room and takes off all her clothes in front of him. The episode ends with him calling her an idiot and we hear the sound of fabric as if to describe Kyoshiro grabbing a jacket or blanket to cover up Kuu.

The show has raised its shock factor with this ending scene. I think it was to make up for the lack of a Kuu and Setsuna bath scene in this episode. Anyway, it’s pretty apparent that Kyoshiro covers her up with something at the end of the episode. I guess she wanted to find a way to activate her powers and this would be a pretty effective way as she’s going the “Fate/Stay Night” route (if you know what I mean).
