Vegapunk asks, "Was this all your doing?!" and shouts, "Answer me!" while the hidden figure keeps walking. The CP agents and prisoners react with shock as the culprit draws closer. Stella stammers, "Ga-cha... gd-ii--" or struggles to speak, then asks, "Why are you..." The scene builds dread through repeated footsteps and the sight of Shaka's body on the floor, showing that the same hidden traitor who shot Shaka is now revealing themselves directly to Vegapunk. Page 13: The culprit is revealed as York. She smiles and says, "Hey Stella, it's me!" while leaning over the wounded Vegapunk. Stella screams in disbelief and asks why she wants to be such a scummy human being, reminding her that she was one of the Vegapunks. York casually answers that she is going to be a Celestial Dragon. Stella says, "What are you on about, York?! You've been to Mary Geoise in the past," and adds that the Celestial Dragons are scummy beings. York replies that he is sounding just like Shaka and says, "But guess what? He's dead!! Ahaha!!" She says it is confusing with so many Vegapunks around and declares, "This world would be better off... with only one of us." The chapter ends with York's desire revealed.
