Maia disagrees and says it is a future that is within their reach. She has no idea how to achieve it, but she believes sensei knows the way. The fanatics are sick of hearing about sensei again, and accuse Maia of siding with the other side and being corrupted by the outside world. They revert back to their hatred of Trinity, and asks Subaru whose side she's on, and if she would defend Arius. Subaru tries to play for time, but the crowd has descended into a frenzy, demanding Subaru to prove herself. Frightened, Maia says she doesn't mean to work everyone up, and implores Subaru to protect everyone's home. Hearing those words, Subaru asks Maia if she has heard the trumpet. When Maia says yes, Subaru says sorry and walks away. Maia begs Subaru to give her a second chance, accepting she is wrong and promising Subaru she would not speak of studying again. Subaru orders the crowd to banish Maia from the Basilica, with her in attendance. Maia is tearful and pleading with Subaru throughout, but her plea falls on deaf ears. With the deed done, Subaru tells the other students to go back before her. After they are gone, Subaru breaks down in tears, as Maia can be heard from the outside, begging Subaru not to abandon her.
