Episode 3, Midnight Train
For some reason Tilarna decided to trust Father O’Neil to help her fit in, rather than trust Kei. He dresses her in skimpy clothing and teaches her to “walk” like a “high ranking woman.” Brother Kenny is surprisingly concerned for her safety and calls Kei. While she’s at the bar, Elbaji begins to hit on her. He fails. He later reveals that he’s Dennis Elbaji, which doesn’t surprise Tilarna obviously. She in turn reveals that she is a Knight looking for the fairy he stole. He refuses and sets his me to attack her. When they draw their guns, she cuts off their arms.

Elbaji draws his sword and quickly defeats Tilarna. He then kidnaps her, hoping to get some answers. In the car, Elbaji asks Tilarna, “if she knew the name of Earth’s God.” He responds, “money.” He claims to have “converted” to the religion. He bring her to a temple where the Wizard Zelada is waiting. He offers to torture her for information, but conveniently leaves. Kei is watching from a far but decides to intervene. Meanwhile, Tilarna escapes and find the room where the fairies are kept. Inside she is discussed to see fairies and some limbs of fairies in jars.

Kei arrives, giving Tilarna her sword back. She and Elbaji fight. Tilarna wins, only to discover that the bomb was a fake. Zelada has taken the real bomb. They catch up to him and arrests Zelada. However, Chief Roth arrives and shoots Tilarna. Roth reveals that he’s been informing Zelada of the investigation, deliberately gave him an inexperienced partner (Tilarna) and killed Rick. Their goal is to create hatred between Earth and the Semanians using terrorism. When Tilarna gets up, Chief Roth is distracted long enough for Kei to shoot him. Zelada heads to Forest Tower, the tallest building in the city.

Kei and Tilarna race to stop the bomb, dodging traps as they do so. When Tilarna sees the bomb she calls the fairy, Leahyah. Things are getting more interesting in each episode. We learned that Zelada have meet previously. They both were involved in a war between the humanity and the Semanians. Tilarna and Kei’s relationship really got closer in this episode. He saved her during her fight with Elbaji, by returning her sword. He also twice showed her trusted her, when he allowed her to fight him on her own and trusted her to warn him about Zelada’s traps. With Kei losing his friend (Rick) and his father figure (Roth) he’s going to need to trust someone.
