	At night, while Nathan and his men attacked the soldiers as a distraction, Sei and Noa—who believed himself to be Edward due to the [[Bleeding Effect]]—infiltrated one of the nearby pagodas.

			After being informed by Sei of her and Noa's location, Yuki drove to pick them up alongside Nathan. The group then left Yangon and went into hiding at a safehouse outside the city, taking advantage of the chaos left by Sigma Team in their wake to slip away unnoticed.<ref name="FT 101"/>
