The officer said he had been waiting for Ochō, leading Lop to question whether her sister knew the officer. Lop and Ochō were stopped at an Imperial roadblock on a bridge, where an Imperial officer stopped the sisters. Ochō said she could relate as well, expressing her love for Tao and her father, and claiming that was exactly why she must support the Empire: "for the sake of our future." Despite her origins offworld, Lop had come to feel at home on Tao and could relate to Yasaburō's animus for the Empire's degradation of their world's ecology. Ochō doubted that Yasaburō would understand her opinion, but Lop said she wanted their family to stop fighting because they were family. Lop drove in a landspeeder with Ochō, telling her sister she ought to consider how Father felt about the Empire and their homeworld. Imperial stormtroopers approached on speeder bikes, causing the crowd to flee. The father and daughter continued to argue as Lop stood on. Ochō denounced her father's anti-Imperial views as "stubborn opposition to development" and wrong. Ochō exhorted her father, claiming a right as the next head of family to assert her opinion. Yasaburō silenced Lop, saying this was a problem for the head of the family. Lop begged her family members to stop, saying there was no reason for them to fight each other. Upon seeing Lop approach, one clan member implored the Lepi to intervene. Yasaburō clan members attempted to separate the quarreling father and daughter, saying they needed to flee before Imperial troops arrived.
Ochō expressed indignation that her father attacked the Imperial base, while Yasaburō justified his supported for the insurgency against the Empire on the grounds of the Empire polluting and pillaging their planet. She rushed over to a scene where Yasaburō and Ochō were fighting, surrounded by a crowd of affiliates of their clan. After hearing Ochō's words, Lop expressed disbelief aloud that the explosion was her father's doing. Ochō asked their father what he had done, crying out that the town had been destroyed. Coming to, the Lepi donned her side glasses to view the wreckage in the infrared spectrum, before hearing Ochō confront Yasaburō over what had happened. An explosion rocked the local town, and Lop woke up among smoke and debris from the destruction. Seven years after joining the Yasaburō clan, an Imperial base on Tao was attacked.
Lop tries to stop her father and sister from fighting.
" Ochō! And you too, Father! Please stop! There's no reason for you both to fight." ―Lop
