On the 28th floor, The sweet and sour team were taking a break after completing the floor test. Horyang had left to find Cassano while Viole returned and was in a daze of silence.
Suddenly Goseng spoke up after she placed a plate of watermelon down. "Viole... on the 21st floor we went to visit a fortune teller. There we met the blind seer."
Viole was clearly confused as he didn't care for a fortune teller.
"She seemed to know you. She said to say hello to you for her in exchange for reading our fortunes." Goaeng had explained.
Viole was sure he didn't know a fortune teller, and kept silent. Miseng overheard and added "OH! She called you black lamb, that's a really cute nickname Viole, can I call you that too?"
Viole didn't answer, he couldn't answer.
Black lamb...? Noona...?
Viole's heart wrenched in remembering the time he spent on the floor of tests, her red hair flowing as they kept fighting to win, her earrings dangling as she moved, and her smile as she laughed at Khun and Rak's idiotic behaviour.
Her words of advice as she said her last goodbye rang through his head
"Bam. You can't stay here with no food or water. You'll die."
"But your perfectly fine aren't you...?"
"Well that's not fair, I don't need food to survive but you do. You've starved for your whole life haven't you...?"
"I did. But that was before Rachel came into my life. So why did she-
"Rachel wanted you dead. Face that fact."
"... Rachel is my only friend so why did she..."
"Rachel's your only friend...? Well then what does that make me and Khun...? Strangers...?"
"....no."
"Then stop sulking like a coward. Face the fact that Rachel is not your friend and climb the tower to find your real friends again. Khun, Rak, Shibisu... they're all up there, waiting for you. Never forget that your comrades and friends will be the only thing that will protect you in this cruel hell. Don't betray your friends"
"Or the whole world will fall on you."
"Will you climb the tower, for your friends?"
...
"Only if you say please...Noona. "
"...ha."
The two shared a chuckle and Viole came to his senses.
"Viole? Can I call you that?" Miseng asked once more.
"No... only noona can call me that... just call me whatever you want..."
Miseng pondered for a moment and then replied
"What about Rapunzel? Do you think Mr horyang will like it? Where is he right now? He won't get hurt by bad people will he?"

On the hand of Arlene, there a red cloaked figure was sitting peacefully, she took off her hood as her crimson coloured hair raged with the winds.
"Arlene... if only you were here... to think the person who would've loved you endlessly was the one to end your life... how could he... I'm sorry Arlene, that I wasn't able to save you... that I failed. I swore to myself that my feelings for Zahard were dead that day. But part of me longed that he stopped staring at you and start noticing me did once. Now that part of me is filled with revenge, would you be glad if I killed him for you? Noona...?"
As she finished her words... she took out a paper airplane, and as the winds died down, it carried the slip of paper to the skies, and to whoever received her message, take it to heart.
I will kill the fake king who sits on the throne made in blood.
But just below the hand on Arlene, a chestnut haired FUG slayer candidate was staring at the paper airplane, more specifically- the one who flew it.
He was sure, that he saw her flowing red hair and gold earrings dangling in the soft wind.
A certain bluenette saw it too, the sight of a wish on paper, it made him stop questioning his assassination attack for a slight second, it brought him a sliver of peace. But he returned to his tracking immediately after.

Inside the hand of Arlene, the sight of the devils right arm lying on the floor in a pool of blood angered the chestnut haired Viole.
A small blueberry kid and tall red eyed man was standing there with a blank face in confusion.
The four engaged in combat. The noise disturbed the red guide singing her current favourite song,
"Cause in my heart and in my head, I'll never take back the things I said, so high above..."
The girl went silent and then stood up as she went to find her old friends.
ˏ⸉ˋ‿̩͙‿̩̩̽‿̩͙‿̩̥̩‿̩̩̽‿̩͙‿̩͙‿̩̩̽‿̩͙‿̩͙‿̩̩̽‿̩͙‿̩̥̩‿̩̩̽‿̩͙'⸊ˎ
The yell of a rabbit eared girl rang
"WAIT! Don't take another step! Or everyone here dies! I installed a bomb in the hand of Arlene, if I press this button, the hand will blow up and we'll all die. So don't move unless you want to die."
As the rabbit girl kept boasting and revealing her plan, she failed to notice that the remote for the Bomb was no longer in her hands.
"You wish to blow up the only monument left of my Noona...? Jue Viole Grace's mother's final monument? Well that can't happen, grace may not be here anymore but her memory lives on, that's what FUG stands for isn't it? For Unforgettable Grace. So why are you trying to blow up the only memory of grace this cruel tower has?"
Viole and Khun were more shocked to see their old friend to even begin to figure out what she just said. Although the bunny was doing the exact thing, thinking about what she said, she didn't know what this monument even was, nor the meaning of FUG.
"Ianna...?"
"Noona!"
The two exclaimed but the red guide was caught off guard as the rabbit girl stole back the button and. simply pressed the remote for the bomb.
The yells of Bam and Khun reached her, but she fell unconscious shortly but awoke from the cries of Bam.
"Black lamb, whatever are you yelling for...? For the loss of Arlene...?"
Bam was so relieved his Noona had awoke and hugged her right as the latter returned his embrace.
"To think Arlene's monument crumbled while I was right here... I failed. Again..."
Bam's memory of her hugging him saying I'm sorry and I failed on the floor of tests traveled through his mind once again, only this time. Bam was able to comfort her and embrace her in return.
"Come with me Noona. Please?"
"... I mean, why the hell not? I was here for your mom but I guess it can be about you too."
