Phasing token + indirect phasing of an aura/equip

Scenario: I have a White soldier token creature 1/1 equiped with Leonin Scimitar. My oponent play Reality Ripple targeting the token creature.
The token phases out and cease to exist by rule 702.25K
The equip phases out indirectly by rule 702.25F

My question: The equip will phase in on my next untap phase??
The "An Aura, Equipment, or Fortification that phased out indirectly won’t phase in by itself, but instead phases in along with the permanent it’s attached to.“ distract me… because ”nothing“ will phase in directly to aplly the ”instead"…

Surely was a stupid question, but thx for your time ;)

Phasing token + indirect phasing of an aura/equip

Hi,

Thanks for your question. Any permanent that phases out indirectly can only ever phase back in when the permanent it was attached to when it phased out phases back in. It will not phase back in on its own.

In this case, after the token phases out, the token ceases to exist. The Scimitar that phased out indirectly will only phase back in when the token it was attached to phases back in. But since the token ceased to exist, the token will never phase back in, and the Scimitar will remain phased out for the rest of the game.
