Summary[]
As Ruby clings onto Aqua, the latter states she is sqeezing him too hard, to which she replies to be afraid that he will dissappear if she lets go. Ruby then asks Aqua to call her "Sarina" but he just tells her to go to sleep. In the end, after Ruby throws a tantrum, Aqua gives in to her request in exchange for her going to bed right after. Aqua then puts on a pair of glasses and tells "Sarina" to go to bed in Gorou's tone. However, this only excites Ruby as she embraces "Gorou" and asks him to marry her, causing him to point out that such a thing would kill his social life. Ruby then states that she was able to keep their promise to reach adulthood in this life and asks "Gorou" to praise her, to which he obliges.
When Aqua asks Ruby if she is satisfied, she claims that "Gorou" visiting her always made her happy. Aqua then apologizes to Ruby, claiming that he is no longer the carelessly smiling Gorou that she knew. While Ruby admits that their mother's murder has definitely changed him, she finds his moody behavior to be is cute and states that he should just smile when he wants to. However, Aqua still believes that he cannot, pointing that he has manipulated and hurt too many people. In response, Ruby tells him her secret for staying positive: idols; revealing that "Gorou" was her idol. Calling herself his "blind follower", Ruby claims to be happy that "Gorou" is alive.
Ruby then brings up the time when "Gorou", through a lot of effort, managed to buy her concert tickets but acted as if it was no big deal, behaving just like Aqua does now. She thus concludes that nothing has changed between them and he is still her first love. Ruby then asks "Gorou" if she loves her and he affirms that he does, to which she states that she likes him too. However, Ruby also warns him that, though she might be his blind follower, she is still in love with him and kisses him before he can react, much to his shock.
Next day, on the set of The 15 Year Lie, Ai and Hikaru's kiss scene finishes recording without issue as Kana, Akane, and Mem-Cho look on with flustered expressions.
