"Exiled? After defeating the Honkai, I'm traveling Earth with Mei!"
Kiana retorted at Bronya's "curse." Meanwhile, Mei recognized Bronya must have learned the script too - how else would she know about Kiana's lunar future?
"Enough arguing. Let's return."
Channeling her new power, Bronya activated a massive portal network reaching even Seele and Durandal at their locations. Emerging at the Eye of the Deep on Earth, Kiana questioned their destination.
"Why here?"
"It's safe. The Adam mental construct can't reach this quantum interference zone."
Kiana sheepishly recalled the Stigma Plan's other component besides Kevin.
"With everything happening, forgetting is normal!"
"Typical irresponsible Kiana."
Yawning, Kiana announced: "I'm exhausted. Naptime."
"Go ahead. Bronya and Mei can handle things without the idiot."
Once alone, Bronya turned to Mei.
"When did you learn the truth?"
"...After beating Kiana on that rooftop."
"...Rough."
"Mm~ Great sleep!"
Stretching outside the base, Kiana felt fully recharged. Ready for anything - even a hundred Meis, co-cough.
"Kiana! We've located Father. Let's rescue him."
Durandal's news energized Kiana further.
"Yeah! Who knows what hardships he's endured without Judgment of Shamash!"
Meanwhile, elsewhere...
"Ancestor, can we negotiate? Freezing's fine, but skip the stabbing part?"
Trapped in containment, Siegfried bargained with Kevin about his scripted "wounding."
"A Kaslana afraid of pain? Disgraceful."
Kevin's scolding continued until...
"Kevin, finish work and come home for dinner."
"!!!"
The call shattered Kevin's composure. Watching the mighty warrior collapse to his knees, Siegfried barely contained his laughter - until noticing Kevin's glowing red eyes.
"Y-you'll go easy, right Ancestor?"
Kevin responded by conjuring even larger ice spears than scripted.
Gulp. "R-right?"
"Aaaaargh—!"
The sisters arrived to Siegfried's agonized screams. Enraged, Kiana charged the containment device, only for black ice spikes to erupt from the ground, forcing retreat.
"Since when does ice have AI?!"
Durandal planted her lance. "I'll clear a path. Save Father!"
"I am the black that devours all, the white that births all. Abyss Flower, reveal thy true power!"
Vines of St. Kaslana energy - the power of Schariac Stigmata - ensnared the device, cracking its shell.
"Now Kiana!"
Sprinting across vines, Kiana's Flamescion blade blazed toward the prison.
