It is then revealed that Jin himself locked away his own memories in order to suppress Orpheus, and the power Orpheus used on Kaito was an incomplete ability to alter time. Just then, they receive a call from Raetsel, who had decided to join Orpheus as well, saying the only way to save Jin's mind is if either she, Kaito, Gammon, Rook, or Freecell awaken as a Phi Brain and offer their mind to him. As Kaito becomes angered by Rook's suggestion to either find an alternative way of saving Jin, or else kill him to protect the world, Freecell suggests to Kaito that if he can become a Phi Brain before Orpheus, he may able to save the future.
