(VIP room)
Ruby (after the bird in UGO flies away at the same time a staff shows the cut sign): When did they call you Goddess Demon?
Iris (and Souji taking their headphone off): It was at the same time Souji's main account was called the Demon Samurai.
Souji: A perfect nickname. Goddess equals light while Demon equals destruction.
Iris (look at Souji): It sounds like my main has two different personalities.
Ruby: By the way how are you able to freely talk without getting your actual voice notice?
Souji: One of the staff changes our voice in UGO when we get interviewed.
Iris: It comes in handy when we decide to take part or get invited.
Souji: Whatever place we take they still want to interview us.
Ruby: So all your interviews happen in UGO?
Iris: Yep. It's so people don't know us in person. (while Ruby stands from sitting on a chair) Where are you going?
Ruby (walking to the door): Since there's a one-hour break I'm going to see if the staff still need help.
Iris: Just don't hurt yourself.
Ruby (after opening the door): Don't worry I'll be just fine. (before leaving) I'll be back once the second half begins.
Souji (passes a water bottle after Ruby leaves): Here. I loosen the cap for you.
Iris (while taking the water bottle): Thank you.
Souji (while Iris drinks some water): Ruby told me you woke up from a nightmare. Is that true?
Iris (after closing the bottle): It's true. I had the dream of that memory from yesterday. I remember my dad actually killed one of his own members after that man tried to warn him.
Souji: Warn him about what?
Iris: The man said someone lying to him about a fellow gang who joined my father's gang family. However, the man soon realized it was too late so he left before...
Souji (interrupting after hugging Iris): Don't say it. I know what happens. (in his mind) She saw her father kill the man right in front of her.
Iris: Souji can I ask for a favour?
Souji (after letting go of Iris): What's that?
Iris (pass her phone): I got a message from an unknown number.
Souji: Can I have a look?
Iris: Yes.
Souji (after finding and reading the message): Do you know who it could be?
Iris: I think it's someone from my father's gang.
Souji (puts Iris's phone in his pocket): I'll ask my dad to look into it.
Iris (while standing): Thanks. (look at Souji) Want to eat on the roof?
Souji: Okay.
While leaving they picked their coats up but when they reached the hallway Iris saw a distance rocket flying towards the window. She turned around pushing Souji back into their room but right when Iris was about to jump into the room behind her the rocket set off after breaking through the window.
(ground floor kitchen)
Ruby (after the whole building shake): Earthquake? (in her mind) No that felt like something else. (fire alarm set off) Fire?
Souji's dad (after Ruby answered her phone when it rang): Ruby you alright?
Ruby: Yes. Why are you asking?
Souji's dad: One of my men who's on security just reported a rocket hitting the building you're in.
Ruby (starts running out of the kitchen): Oh no.
(near entrance)
Souji's dad: Did you notice something?
Ruby (heading to the stairs): Get your team over here. Order the people who are undercover to escort the person and the staff out of the building. Also, cancel the live event as well.
(stairs)
Souji's dad: The fireman and ambulance are also on their way.
Ruby: Thanks for letting me know. (in her mind seeing smoke after she hangs up her phone) Why would they attack now during the day? (remember) Did Iris get some type of warning while getting ready today? (stop in front of the bricks that are blocking the way to the third floor) There's no way I can get in there.
Policeman (just arrived): There you are Ruby. The sergeant asks me to assist you until he and the squad arrive.
Ruby (walking down the stairs): Get everyone in the building out and find another way to the third floor. The sergeant's son and our friend in there.
Policeman (follow behind): Anything else?
Ruby (mad): Have a small group of people look for the person who fired the rocket.
Policeman: Understood mam.
Ruby (in her mind): Please be alive.
