At RenTech Industries, Ren is shown playing an electric piano he had created to pitch as a new product for his tech company, singing poorly as he sat on a stool.

Ren

Do you remember?

When they wrote this song in September?

Now I'm-

He stops [playing and singing as he slowly spins his seat around, grunting as he has to force it the whole way. Though it resumes as he made it back to the keyboard.

Ren

Now I'm singing this song in October!

Watch me do this shit without my haaaaaaaands!

The imp then gets up and starts dancing as he sings and the piano plays itself. However, unknown to him, a certain swan royal was inconspicuously walking into the building, making her way to the lab.

Ren:

*hums* Wrote this in September.

*hums* Singing in October.

He then starts to scat as he pulls another jig, before stopping, supporting himself on his knees and panting.

Ren: *WHEW* Damn, I never get this winded. Hopefully no one ambushes me while I'm vulnerable like this.

The camera cuts to the door, then back to Ren, and then back to the door again. Before suddenly, the door is kicked down to reveal Stella with a multitude of Hellhound enforcers storming into the room.

Ren: Woah, what the-

Stella: *scowls* An imp running a business.... How inconceivable.

Ren: Hey, I'll have you know, you white haired, old ass, cuck lord, that I'm just as capable of being a genius then anyone else! I have a-...... Oh no...... I.... I must shit.

Stella: Hmm, well then. *to Hellhounds* Hang him until he's cleaned out and then, take as much tech as you can.

Two hounds nodded, grabbing Ren and hanging him off the piano by his coat before joining the other hounds in getting the tech.

Ren: No no, put me down! The splashback from this height will be a horror show! Why are you even doing this, aren't you rich?

Stella: Well, my bank has been getting rather low ever since that *suddenly angry* CHEATING PRICK *calm* left me. So, I thought I'd either try to earn my living the right way and mask it with my royal status or do the same thing, but become a crime boss. The choice is obvious. Now, I'll be able to sell this tech to regain my fortune and I'll have the home of a god! Now, let's see what we-

Suddenly, a pounding is heard at the door, Bendy's voice on the other side.

Bendy: Open up! This is the Horny Police!

Stella: *horrified squeal* Everyone, hide!

The hellhounds and Stella scramble around the room to hide, with the swan beside the door. Only for the door to slam open and crush her, revealing Bendy, Blitz, and Striker, Stella getting hit by the door and sent crashing through the wall.

Bendy: Just kidding Ren ol' buddy, it's just us.

Striker: Hope you don't mind, good doctor, but I need to ask to borrow your uh..... *reads off note* "Super Slurpey Super Sucker 5000" For my date with my lovely lady.

Bendy: Wait, I thought you needed a vacuum cleaner?

Blitz: *snickers* Classic. Okay, let's find us a vacuum.
