Summary
At Eden Academy, a Stella Star awards ceremony is held for Anya Forger, Becky Blackbell, Damian Desmond, and Bill Watkins. Because these students were able to stay calm and support their classmates during the hijacking crisis, each of them has been rewarded with a Stella Star. Everyone but Damian appears to be overjoyed, as Damian feels unworthy of his Stella. Becky tells Anya that a newspaper wants to interview them, which could make them famous, but Henry Henderson clarifies that the interview has been declined for the safety of the students, and the school has been instructed by authorities not to speak of the incident publicly. Regardless, Henry is amazed that they survived the hijacking with no children harmed.

Going back to the arrest of the Billy Squire and the Red Circus members, the relieved children are released from the bus. Damian had his collar bomb removed, which he denies being scared of. After all the hostages have been accounted for, the SSS Captain allows the information blackout to be lifted. The Police Chief tells a teacher to contact the students' guardians and have them collect the children, who the police will need to see later for future interviews. While Henry gives the dorm students homestay passes, Mr. Blackbell rushes over to his daughter, and the two have a tearful reunion. Together with Martha Marriott, the Blackbell family returns home to their mother. One by one, all of the students get picked up by their parents until only Anya and Damian are left.

With the two alone, Damian thinks back to when Anya held his hand and calmed him down, which he gets conscious of, then praises Anya for her bravery and apologizes for how he had been treating her. Anya also praises Damian, calling the time he asked for her bomb to be put on him a "hero move." Damian quickly gets flustered and says anyone would have done that, as that is how friends look out for each other. Anya is stunned by this statement and believes she has fulfilled the Friendship Scheme. Anya tries to propose going to Damian's house, claiming that is what friends do, along with introducing their parents to each other and talking about world peace, which makes Damian double back on calling her a friend. Damian then looks wistfully at the children with their parents and says there is no point in trying to cozy up to him since he barely has a relationship with them. Anya pitifully pats him on the back, and he retorts that her parents are also not there. Just as the Police Chief offers to give Anya a ride home, Yor speeds over to her. Yor asks Anya if she is alright, which the girl initially affirms, then begins bawling in her mother's arms.

Yor assures Anya that she is safe and apologizes for not coming to save her sooner. On the sidelines, two strike team officers discuss the outcome of the hijacking. Underneath their uniforms are the WISE Agent and Twilight, who came racing back to Berlint once he heard about the situation. An exhausted Loid is relieved everything ended safely and decides to head home. The WISE Agent asks if he will go to Anya, but Loid says that he needs to maintain his cover and will cook Anya her favorite dinner when he gets home.

While Anya is excited to get some hamburger steak later, Yor notices Damian and informs him that Melinda will arrive soon. Melinda appears, and Damian reunites with his mother, who apologizes for her lateness. Anya hears Melinda's thoughts, which affectionately dote on Damian, reminding her of a certain uncle. Melinda tells her son not to act so toughly for her, so Damian asks her not to tell Donovan that he cried. Melinda's face darkens as she thinks about how she should not have come. As she agrees to Damian's request on the condition that Donovan does not know she was there, Anya is taken aback by Melinda's back-and-forth thoughts of affection and disdain towards Damian.
