Intermission: Final Words

The volume starts with a scene where strong shock and heat cut open someone's chest. Huge amount of blood is scattered in his field of view and his organs blew out of his torn chest. His whole body immediately becomes weak and his Device slides away from his grip. He then collapses on the ground in a sea of blood. As he is about to lose his life, he says "I love you, Stella" to his most beloved girl with a smile. He doesn't regret everything that happened since he first met her. Ikki Kurogane then loses consciousness and will never awaken again.
