Plot
Creed Diskenth does not believe that Train Heartnet will be able to snap the Imagine Blade. He advises Train to aim for his head, but Train states that he wants Creed to suffer for the rest of his life, as Saya would have wanted that. At the mention of the woman's name, Creed snaps and suddenly attacks Train, successfully hitting his shoulder. As they battle, Creed reminds Train that it was Saya who died, meaning that her way of living was wrong. Train reveals that he has spoken to the children Saya protected, so he knew what happened that night. He states that Saya chose to protect the kids, so she won by living life on her own terms. He tells the swordsman that Saya lives on in Train's memory and that Creed will never be able to destroy her spirit. This angers Creed even further. Train attacks him with the Black claw.
