After this, Adel went to Yuko and brought her to the hospital and was put to comatose by doctors.

Yuko woke up after three months under the coma. She then spotted Eiji, who told her about what happened. When she was about to ask another question, Adel went to her and told her about the outcome of the battle three months ago. She also told Yuko about the Creed's future plans and that her mother is still alive and Adel knows about her whereabouts. Adel left again. Yuko, wondering why Adel saved her, went searching for Adel, but was unsucessful.
