When the ship neared Garnet A, unusual phenomena was observed on the star, which Nora recognised as signs of the activation of the Stellar Slayer. After the crew detected an object above the star's pole corresponding to the Kokuchou, they observed gravitational anomalies gather and then vanish together with the Kokuchou [2].
