They tell her they are losing ground, but the Squad want to talk. Subaru orders the Troops beside her to reinforce the frontline. She tells them the Squad's words are part of their tactics, and reminds them sensei instigated the whole thing by leading Trinity to Arius. Hearing that, the Troops invigorate and move out. After they left, Subaru confesses she lied and has to apologize in the future. She loses track of what she wishes to achieve. She thinks back that at the start, she wanted to protect the little nest of Arius to give a better life to the chicks left there. She recalls Maia imploring her to protect their home and the nest as she promised, right before she banished Maia. She steels her heart, and identifies sensei is here to destroy the nest, the Squad are those who forsook the nest, and Trinity are behind everything. She is determined to defend the nest, and she thinks she has the duty to see it fulfilled as she already paid the price by expelling Maia and broken her promise. Subaru wishes for unstoppable might that can reshape the world. A voice responds to her desire, and tells her to unleash their anger, to avenge against Trinity, to annihilate Gehenna, to judge traitors, and bestows on her the power of condemnation and to sound the trumpet of destruction against all enemies. Back above ground, the Troop, despite vastly outnumbering the 4 persons Squad, are about to be broken through. Some of them, being moderates to begin with, are wavering when they hear the sound of trumpet again.
