Summary[]
It is 10pm and director Anemone Monemone tells the minors such as Ruby and Kana to return to the inn, but requests Mem-Cho to stay since she is no longer a minor. Aqua elects to stay and observe some more, and so he asks Akane to watch over Ruby. On their way back to the inn, Ruby notices a crow landing near her and approaches it without care, thinking that all birds cannot see at night. Akane is worried and warns Ruby to be careful. The crow then snatches their room key and flies away, causing Ruby to curse the crow.
Both Akane and Ruby then give chase to the crow, but Akane is getting worried that they might get lost in the forest if they continue. Ruby let slip that she is familiar with the area as she used to live there as Sarina, giving an excuse that she was born around here. Akane did not get suspicious, relaying that Aqua had told her that the twins were born in the hospital here, and Aqua has fond memories of that place. Ruby echoes the statement.
While they walk together, Ruby then randomly asks if Akane wants to join B-Komachi, which Akane says it would be hard due to her not being good at anything outside of her specialty. Akane then asks Ruby back about her interest in being an actress. Ruby is slightly interested but she wants to focus on being an idol career first. She wants to perform at the dome so that everyone, including Gorou Amamiya, would know her name. Ruby then begins to imagine herself meeting Gorou, being praised, and hugging him.
Ruby then asks Akane about her opinions on the age gap in a relationship, which surprises her. Akane answers about her preference in a hurry, being at least ten years older than her. In exasperation, she wonders aloud why they move to topics like love interests. Akane asks Ruby if she has a crush on someone older than her, which Ruby confirms, describing Gorou's impact on her past life as Sarina, and how he gave her a reason to live.
Akane smiles and says that it is okay to have a crush on someone older, and even offers to help if Ruby wants. Ruby reveals that the person she has a crush on is currently gone, and suspects that he got into trouble with a woman and is now on the run. Worried, Akane wonders aloud if he is a good man, but Ruby continues her rant about how he would always evade her every time she mentions how she loves him and asks him to marry her when she was older.[2] Ruby then silently wishes to see Gorou again.
They were then interrupted by the crow, which is joined by other crows, congregating behind a nearby shrine. Ruby and Akane approach the shrine, and they notice that there was a skeletal corpse wearing a white coat and glasses. Akane wonders if it was the corpse of a doctor. Ruby, however, notices the Ai keychain that she gave Gorou right before she died as Sarina. Ruby fully breaks down in tears as she realizes that the corpse belongs to Gorou.
