It's the second "Episode 2" balloon here. Nothing unexpected, from a quick glance. Both chapters of the manga will be up till 6/5 Japan time.
ETA: Translation added. Not entirely happy with a couple lines in this and may change it later, but this needs to be posted before the manga is taken down.
What's interesting is that they're doing Olivie next. I thought they'd be hitting just the standard beats of the franchise's most popular characters and that we'd be getting yet another version of Clavis's tragic past (though I guess that's been covered, kind of), so it's refreshing to see that they're going to be painting in the corners characterwise here. Anyhow, the Olivie manga is going to cover his departure from his home planet (which is, as I recall, an icy, remote, desolate world, if they're going with previous canon) and his ascendancy as a designer - just as begins to hit the big time, though, a messenger from the Sanctuary arrives.
(Also, Olivie looks a bit more feminine in the promo art here than he has in past Retour pieces, which is a relief.)
