Tōma, sitting next to a sleeping Index, is aware that he can't do anything to stop the erasure of Index's Memory. Then he gets a call from Kaori, who tells him that the spell will be performed at exactly midnight. Tōma, who refuses to give up, tries to convince Kaori in finding another way to help Index which she tells him to try before midnight. He calls all the hospitals he knows until, but with each no one answers until it is already midnight. Styil and Kanzaki finally arrive to perform the spell. While Styil is preparing the erasure and brushing the seal on the wall, he tells a desperate Tōma (which he angrily calls a mutant) that if he really wants to try out his luck, he should touch the holy cross, an ornament which is needed to make the memory loss complete. Tōma tries to touch it but hesitates due to uncertainty.
After some small talk, Kanzaki and Styil wait a few minutes outside so Tōma can finally say goodbye to Index. While talking to himself for failing to save her, he suddenly realizes something. Kaori's statement about the grimoires consuming 85% of Index memory and the remaining 15% reserved for daily life doesn't make sense. He calls Komoe to confirm. His suspicions are confirmed when Komoe reveals humans, even those with photographic memory will never suffer or die from information overload since the human brain is capable of storing large amount of information. Realizing that the Church erased Index memories to ensure her loyalty to them and lied to Styil and Kaori about her condition, Tōma is determined to save her. When he finds a rune in her throat, he touches it which end up activating John's Pen mode. The light and sound of the activation make Styil and Kanzaki rush into the room, where they see Index in her Pen Mode. After the Pen mode attempts to analyze what happened and reverse the process, it states that there is absolutely no way to reverse it. It then chooses the most "effective" way of eliminating the threat (Tōma), and activates the spell "St. George's Sanctuary", ending the episode.
