After the battle, Zayne treats Raymond (39, unconscious from shock after seeing the Wanderer, no external injuries, normal heart rate and pupil response) and calls in a rescue helicopter. Meanwhile, the Main Character scans the gallery room, confirms the Wanderer was an Intelligentia type (minimum threat level B, hadn't formed a Protocore yet) and reports the mission complete — yet something still feels off to her. An oil painting hanging opposite the sofa, depicting a blue sea with cascading white waves, catches her attention; when she touches the frame to Resonate with it, she's pulled into an ocean illusion, encountering a crying girl by the shore. Zayne snaps her out of it just in time. The Main Character concludes the Wanderer may be directly connected to the painting and sends it to the Association for special handling. This chapter unlocks Zayne's 'Falling For You' and 'Tender Moments' romance content along with an article about the 'Patients' Favorite Doctor' title, while planting the thread that leads to the painter's identity in 02-06.
