Marina had dragged Ambur to the girls' studio to talk to her. Pearl was being dragged along as well to help, Ambur assumed.

"Ok first of all, what's your name?" Marina asks out of the blue
".... Ambur?" She says her mask muffling her voice.
"What was that?" Pearl asks "Her name's Ambur, Pearlie..."
Ambur pauses and is more hesitant with the following questions. She now doesn't understand why she's talking to these celebrities who run a duet group, but she was only because of Marina.  Marina's last question, though, completely caught her off-guard.
"Do you remember anything from your past?" Marina said staring straight into her eyes as if she knew she was nervous.
".....Yes..... I was an experiment. Number 10,008 to be exact. I escaped with just about nothing, except myself," Ambur hesitantly replies
"I was told I was larger than a normal Giant Pacific Octopus, which is what I am supposed to be. I think they mutated me to be taller than I originally was, if I did have an original state... When I was younger, they..."
Ambur pauses, her hand hovering over her mask. She pulls it down, revealing a big scar where the right half of her bottom lip used to be.
   "They said I talked to much, to where they cut my lip off and if I cried, they would hurt one of my friends I had made in that stupid facility. When he died... they made it my fault he did. Ambur pulls her mask back up quickly, but carefully.
She looked back at Marina who had stood up and walked over to hug her. She then looked at Pearl who was on the verge of bawling her eyes out.
"No wonder you seemed so emotionless... You were almost just like me...." Marina said while tears poured from her eyes. Ambur didn't know what to say. But something managed to escape.
"You and I aren't the same.... I know who you are.. Marina Ida..."
