The trio was at the mall, Mikoto looked at Tatara not knowing where to go. Tatara smiled and said "I know the right place for Anna". Tatara led Anna and Mikoto to a Victorian clothing store, Anna's eyes sparkled and approached a red dress. She stared at Mikoto who nodded and gave the dress to Tatara who said "Perfect, I also found a few red dresses good for Anna. Let's go and pay for this." After paying for the dress, the trio left the shopping mall.

Izumo stayed behind and cleaned the bar along with the other clansmen. Bando took a box of alcohol from the storage and looked at Izumo "Kusanagi-san, where should I put this?". Izumo looked up and said "put it below the counter", Bando nodded while placing the box, he saw a small box covered with dust. He took it out and placed it on the floor in front of the counter. Yata who was coming out of the kitchen saw the dusty box and looked at Bando who shrugged his shoulders. They opened it and saw picture frames covered with dust. Yata looked at Izumo and said "Izumo-san why are these frames covered with dust?" Kamamoto, Chitosa, Dewa and Izumo flinched and stopped what they were doing. Izumo sighed and approached them "It was taken down to help the clan move on from the disappearance of our queen" The new members who hadn't had the chance to meet her, looked shocked and confused. Izumo smiled and wiped the dust off the frame, it was the photo of their younger days. The background was the old red curtain of the bar, A young Izumo was holding a cigarette with a much younger Tatara who was smiling at the camera while hugging the arms of Izumo and Mikoto. A violet haired woman with silver eyes was hugging Mikoto with a big smile on her face.

Fujishima looked at Masaomi "This is the first time that Chitose isn't screaming upon seeing a beautiful woman". Izumo opened his mouth and was about to say something when Chitose cut him off. "I flirted with her on my first day, Mikoto-san almost burned me, good thing she saved me" Izumo smiled and said "She's a sister to me and Tatara and a lover to Mikoto. She's known as the Red Queen and her name's Akemi Mori, but we call her Emi-chan" Izumo continued even though the door to the bar opened and the trio came in. "Mikoto, Tatara and I were about to go to her place when Kamamoto called me. We arrived at her place and saw the apartment burning and in ruins. We looked for her for two years, almost three, but we got nothing, not even her body. The only thing we know is that someone placed a bomb on her apartment floor." Mikoto's eyes lingered to the frame held by Izumo and sighed. Izumo placed the frame back inside the box and went behind the counter. Mikoto went to the couch and sat down, Tatara faintly smiled and put down the bags from the shopping mall and held the frame. Anna looked at Mikoto and saw his red decrease. She approached Tatara and looked at the photo. Anna gasps and she almost lost the strength on her legs, Tatara caught her before she could hit the floor. The action caught everyone off, even the King. Tatara put down the framed, and carried Anna to the couch beside the King after saying one word.
