In the deserted alleyway with a graffiti-marked dumpster as Penny reveals her secret to Ruby and Eren.
Ruby: Penny, I-I don't understand...
Penny: Most girls are born, but I was made. I'm the world's first synthetic person capable of generating an Aura. (Turns her head to the side sadly.) I'm not real...
Ruby: (Taking Penny's hands in her own.) Of course you are. You think just because you've got nuts and bolts instead of squishy guts makes you any less real than us?
Eren: (places his hand into her shoulder) Penny... to me you're more than just a bunch of metal placed together.
Penny: I don't... um... (Leans in close to Ruby and Eren's face.) You're... taking this extraordinarily well.
Eren: Well you're talking to a guy that lost his home five years ago, lost his mom, revenge on the grimms, join the cadet corps for three years to fight, join the scout regiment and become a huntsman.
Ruby: And you're not like those things we saw back there. (Taps her chest.) You've got a heart, and a soul; I can feel it!
Penny: Ooohh... oh you guys (Grabs Ruby and Eren into a hug and shakes her back and forth.) You're the best friend anyone could have!
Eren: (muffle) My back...
Ruby: (Muffled groaning.) I can see why your father would want to protect such a delicate flower!
Penny: (Releases Ruby, fully back to her happy self.) Oh, he's very sweet! My father's the one that built me! I'm sure you would love him!
Ruby: Wow. (Giggles.) He built you all by himself?
Penny: Well, almost! He had some help from Mr. Ironwood.
Ruby and Eren: The General?!
Ruby: Wait... Is that why those soldiers were after you?
