「所有人都撤離了，阿蘭，趕快撤退！」
「可能還有倖存的科員。」
「沒有了…已經沒有其他生命信號了。」
他明白自己應該相信艾絲妲，直到他看見反物質軍團正如潮水般向他湧來。監察域傳來的信號微弱，艾絲妲看不到這個畫面。
此刻，他正站在電梯前。這裡只有他一個人，他必須做出判斷，即使要反抗艾絲妲的命令——為了守護他們，不惜一切代價也要封鎖電梯的權限，不能讓怪物再接近主控艙段一步。
「抱歉，小姐……」
他還來不及解釋，就遭到反物質軍團的背後偷襲，他倒下，遠程通訊隨之切斷。
他想起自己無論是在小姐家工作，還是前往空間站「黑塔」成為防衛科負責人，自始至終未有任何「猶豫」。因為小姐決定前往了那個方向，所以自己當然要追隨著一起。這是理所應當的事。
阿蘭艱難地抬起頭，怪物步步朝他圍攏。他也未曾反抗過小姐的命令，這是第一次。
「希望不是最後一次吧。」
他突然冒出這樣的念頭。
Character Story: Part IV
"Everyone's evacuated. Arlan. Hurry up!"
"There may still be survivors inside."
"No... There aren't any more life signs in there."
He thought he could trust Asta until the moment when countless Antimatter Legion pawns pour towards him like a tsunami. The signal from the watcher zone is faint. Asta won't be able to see this situation.
He is now standing, alone, in the elevator. He has to make a decision, even if he has to disobey Asta's orders — No matter the cost, he has to block access to the elevator to save everyone. He cannot allow these monsters to get to the master control zone.
"Sorry, Miss Asta..."
The Antimatter Legion strikes him down from behind before he can explain himself. He falls, and his remote communications disconnects.
He had never hesitated, whether working in Miss Asta's home or after becoming Herta Space Station's head of Security Department. He had always taken for granted that, since Miss Asta decided to head in one direction, he has to follow her.
Arlan raises his head with great difficulty, and the monsters move closer to him. He had never disobeyed an order from Miss Asta before. This is the first time.
"Hopefully it won't be the last time."
This thought pops up in his head.
Propping himself up with his greatsword, he slowly and firmly stands up.
