Flashforward
A preschool teacher was interviewed about "the twins" and how gifted they were.

Summary
"I can also dance!"

Two more years had passed, and Ai Hoshino skyrocketed to fame due to her outstanding performance in a film, her career shining brightly like the midday sun. At this moment, the twins were happily learning at kindergarten. One day, the kindergarten prepared to host a dance event. However, when the teacher announced the news, Ruby burst into tears and ran out of the classroom. Aqua followed and asked Ruby what was wrong, which triggered memories of Ruby's previous life.

In Ruby's previous life, as Sarina, she was plagued by illness, rendering her almost incapable of dancing. Despite this, her heart ached to experience the joy of dance just once. Therefore, she practiced fervently in the dance studio, only to find herself stumbling and falling repeatedly. It was then that Ai entered the studio, infusing Ruby with newfound confidence. Bolstered by Ai's encouragement, Ruby succeeded in performing the dance, with Aqua secretly watching from the sidelines.
