EPISODIUM
Eager to prove himself, Ishiki fires Haruka over a trivial matter and takes control of the attack on Tokyo Jupiter. Against orders, he moves the attack up one hour. The attack commences with disastrous results.
Meanwhile, Ayato is busy finishing up his painting when he receives a call from Kunugi to pick up Mamoru's cat. While there, he learns how Haruka saved him from the concentration camps. Returning home, he finishes his painting. He is about to show Haruka when Mishima appears and reveals her true purpose for her existence and Ayato's destiny with the RahXephon.
