While searching through the papers provided by Jolly, Felicità and Nova both stumble on the clinical charts of Nova's parents. Felicità tries to soothe him by saying that there might just be a cure for his parents, while Nova denies it, telling her that the reason they won't wake up, was because of him using his Arcana ability, Death, to put them into a deep sleep, due to wanting to protect Mama and Papa.

Plot

There is an organization called the Arcana Famiglia, which protects the island of Regalo (Italian for "present"). The Famiglia is made up of people who have made contracts with Arcana cards, and have received special abilities due to this. On his birthday celebration, the "Papa" has decided it is time for him to retire and give up his seat to a new male who has control over an Arcana. To decide who in the "family" gets this seat, he calls for a tournament, called the Arcana Duello, between Arcana-users. To the winner, he promises the "Papa" seat, a wish of the winner's choice and his daughter's hand in marriage. Refusing to accept this, Felicitá decides to fight to choose her own path, with her friends Libertà and Nova fighting for her freedom by her side.
