Previous Chapter - Chapter 5: End of a World

Synopsis
Begg Garott is annoyed that someone was selling knockoffs of his drugs. Aile chastises him for the trouble his drugs (and the knockoffs) caused. Gretto Avaro arrives and addresses Aile as his big brother Maiza. Although Maiza expresses distaste at being called by his true name, he is glad that the city may be better off.

In alchemy class, Huey Laforet mulls over the information that the alchemy professors already knew about his counterfeits and decides the world should be destroyed. Elmer C. Albatross interrupts his thoughts with a glance at Monica Campanella while Huey wonders if she really is the Mask Maker. The boys debate what to get for her birthday, and Huey decides to allow them into his world.

Begg talks with Niki, who is looking for a place to die.
