Soon after, Agate's unexpected antics and enthusiasm in life impress many of his schoolmates, including Beryl Jasper, an honor student who hates his family, but when it is discovered that Agate was involved in a fight, helping a known artificial soldier sympathizer Agate finds himself on the run and eventually without all of his memories intact. Unknown to Agate, he was born with a secret power that can create miracles. With his ability to create miracles not only is the military but the religious sect is after him.

Disgusted by the carnage, Agate attacks them, driving them away to a nearby forest...as the last attacker falls, falls down in an anguish cry, Chrome sees a vision of a silent Chalce beside him...
Seriously injured from the incident, Agates lies unconscious, taken care of by a former neighbour of Chalce, Sister Rina. She has liked Chalce since young and has witnessed his accidental killing of his father. However, she still admires his nature as well as his subsequent movement on the artificial soldiers issue. Chrome also reflects on how much he has changed since meeting Chalce as a fledgling soldier, moved by his attitude that he allowed himself infused with his memories, becoming his 'brother'. Still Agates tuned in by Rina's fellow sisters, with the reward money saving the orphanage in the process. As Agates taken away, she breaks down as his smile reminded her of Chalce being taken away for the killing....
