Raindrops

Faith

And will Robin be able to accept what she is telling her?
The Eyes of Truth

Loaded Guns

Time to Say Goodbye
After the most recent attacks, the Team keeps Robin under careful guard at the STN-J. The only one absent is Amon, who can't be reached. As they analyze the odd shell castings left from the attack at Robin's apartment, they find that only three people could have fired the Witch bullet at Robin.

Heal the Pain
The survivors are left picking up the pieces in the aftermath of the attack on the STN-J. With both Robin and Amon missing, the Team is seriously short-handed.

While delivering packages one day, she spots Dojima being attacked by a Witch and his gang. After saving Dojima, she learns that the STN-J is seriously undermanned. Dojima begs Robin for help.

In My Pocket

Missing
When Nagira brings in a couple to consult about the Fragment, Robin is unnerved by the woman's strange behavior. Her husband later explains that Robin resembles their missing daughter, whom they believe was Hunted by the Factory. Having being brought up without parents, the woman's reaction stirs up forgotten feelings within Robin and she begins to seek a relationship with the couple.

Meanwhile, Robin and Nagira visit an old woman that was recently seen with Amon.

Further investigations lead them closer to the truth behind Robin's past, as a link between genetics and Witches appears.
Sympathy for the Devil
Zaizen is trying to develop a new type of Orbo that would allow ordinary humans to hunt Witches, but it has disturbing side effects. Amon meets with Robin but does not attack her; instead he reveals more about his orders. Dojima and Nagira follow a Factory assault van but the target is Sakaki!
Rent
With Karasuma captured by the Factory, the team mobilizes to rescue her from an uncertain faith. They secretly gather to form a plan for the dangerous mission, one where they must not only get past Zaizen's watchful eye and armed guards, but also navigate a labyrinth of rooms and corridors. As Robin works with the team, though, the Factory Researcher's words haunt her. Why did he call her the 'Devil's Child'?
Redemption Day
Robin's mentor from Italy, Father Juliano, has made a sudden visit to Japan to see her. She confronts him about her real identity; who, or what, is she? Father Juliano gently revels to Robin her own true nature. Meanwhile, the STN-J Team and Nagira plan to stage an assault on the Factory.
Time to Tell
Robin and Amon finally confront Zaizen and learn the truth about Robin's existence. To Zaizen's surprise, instead of being traumatized, Robin is instead strengthened with resolve. Now Robin and Amon must stop Zainzen's final solution for the sake of both Witches and Humans alike.
