Spoiler for Epilogue:

In a high class mansion, top floor, Autumn raged at a kid (GAKI), and pulled out a knife to carve the kid's face. She was stopped by Squall who came out from the bathroom in her bath robe. It was then told to the reader that both Autumn and Squall are lovers. Squall called Autumn to wash her hair. "M" then went out, after Squall told her to tune Silent Zephyr. Final scene is that M talked to herself that finally her revenge is going to start, and she can meet a person ["nee-san"] (the kanji is Orimura Chifuyu, but is read as nee-san)

I omitted details regarding the harem antics and battle, and I'm may be wrong for the Romanization, as I kinda lose the steam as I typed. I apologized in advance. Some points that I like to note
- I have to admit, the first time I heard about Katar/Katara was when 00 Gundam 7-Sword was introduced (like 2-3 years ago?)
- The one that planned the infiltration? May be it wasn't Squall, and certainly wasn't M.
- 素体 (Sotai) is translated as "Prime Field", but I remembered that the subtitle for VOTOMS used "Prototype" for Fyana . So I could be wrong about this.
- I like it when Tatenashi played with her folding fan
- In this volume the society is not called as Phantom Task, but 亡国機業 (Boukoku Kigyou = Fallen Country Machine/Textile Industry?)
