The Closed-Off World

Overview

As Freecell becomes curious as to why Nonoha is present in a vision of him facing off against Kaito, Kaito and the others ponder why Freecell needed Klondike's Final Ring. The next day, Hoist abducts Nonoha, taking her to Freecell's location in the Himalayas. As Kaito and the others head to their location, Freecell explains how the memento he received from Solitia was a puzzle he wanted to solve with Kite. Nonoha then proceeds to tell him the truth about what happened to Solitia. She also manages to replicate a puzzle Solitia made containing a secret answer showing Solitia's earnest feelings for Freecell, who then starts envisioning Nonoha as his own mother. Meanwhile, Kaito and the others are greeted by Hoist, who wants to create a successor that can surpass God.
