Summary[]
Ruby Hoshino is able to get the keychain from Gorou's corpse before it is taken away. She's standing there and thinking to herself when the Crow Girl appears to her and jokes about how she shouldn't be pillaging corpses. Ruby says she's in a bad mood and tells her to back off. Crow Girl then tells Ruby about how Gorou was the one who cared for Ai during her pregnancy, how he disappeared the night the twins were born, and how a suspicious person was sighted near the hospital that day.
B-Komachi and the rest of the filming crew notice how distracted Ruby seems. Anemone Monemone gives an evaluation for each B-Komachi member. She thinks very highly of Kana Arima as she has both the looks and the charisma to be the center of B-Komachi. She believes that Mem-Cho is capable of holding her own. Ruby, on the other hand, is pretty much a picture-perfect idol and yet she seems to have the problem of being rather unoriginal.
Later, Ruby's conversation goes on with the Crow girl. This girl reveals that there were two people involved in Gorou's murder, one of whom was about the age of a university student and the other who was the age of a middle schooler at the time. Crow Girl says it was one of these two who went on to kill Ai later. Ruby asks the Crow Girl what happened to the other guy, to which the Crow Girl teasingly says that it's Ruby's job to find out.
Ruby thinks to herself that the two most important people in her life were unfairly taken away from her. After a bit of soul searching, she gets stars in both of her eyes and swears revenge. Ruby seems to have gotten a sudden boost in charisma, something Anemone notices immediately.
