[The Dance to Make Master Reflect]

Knowing Lapis's feelings, she refuses to allow the disparity in instruction between disciples. She continues to dance with mysterious movements in front of Master while uttering specific phrases.

While dancing, she only sings (utters) two lines: "Draw the words that won't ring out once more♪" and "If you leave behind the time dyed in red♪"
