Plot

Blue Revenge Arc

At the Athena Sanatorium, Nicholas identifies Baldroy's current bed as Ethan's former bed, and asks Baldroy if he served in the wars in India and Crimea. Conny informs him that those wars happened thirty years ago. When Baldroy states that he went to Sudan in North Africa, Conny says that he, too, served there, and lost his leg as a result. Baldroy discloses to Conny that he lost his mind; he was so traumatized by the war that his wife and son gave up on him and left. Conny and Nicholas assure Baldroy that, with Ada there, he will heal like Ethan did.

The next morning, Ada wakes up the patients, and has them gather in the courtyard. Once they are gathered, Ada constrains them to perform "healthy, vigorous calisthenics," which are a series of exercises.

Ada's outburst.

In the blood-drawing room, Conny announces to Ada that his blood has been drawn, and Ada removes his tubing and thanks him for his cooperation in providing a half pint of blood. Conny offers to have his blood drawn every day rather than on a monthly basis, but Ada emphatically declines the offer, to their collective surprise. She explains that lack of blood leads to poor health and urges Conny to rest. Conny responds that he will never be sick there, and she asserts that she will not allow him to fall ill. Other patients announce that their blood has been drawn, and she instructs them to rest. The patients exit the room.

While bleeding out and experiencing a dreamlike state, Baldroy visualizes the ground crumbling and phantoms of Conny, Ada, Lau, and Nicholas seizing his foot in an attempt to drag him down into the chasm.

Ada as the Miracle Healer.

Baldroy wakes up in the blood-drawing room, surrounded by his fellow patients. Ada approaches Baldroy, explaining that he was about to die, as he was bleeding profusely from an arterial injury; Conny, Lau, Nicholas, and the other patients volunteered to provide him with their blood. Conny whispers that, as he has said before, Baldroy will certainly recover because Ada, the Miracle Healer, is there. Baldroy laughs.

Ada admits that, with that technology, they can, indeed, save more patients, but the sanitorium must be shut down immediately. The announcement raises a furor among Conny and the other patients. Ada shouts that she cannot abandon patients who still require care, and considers remaining there until she can secure facilities. Baldroy cuts in, telling Ada that their enemies will send someone new to kill her next time, and advises that she go into hiding.

Lau interjects, suggesting that Ada and the patients relocate to Shanghai, where he has authority and thus can guarantee their safety. Ada tearfully thanks him, and the patients look on with joy.
