Chapter 7

A/N: The first scene of this chapter contains portions of scenes from manga chapter 425. They don't really contain any critical plot elements. However, if you're concerned about it, you can skip the first scene in this chapter and start reading at the scene break. The rest of the chapter contains echoes from a number of older manga chapters (371 and earlier).
