But then Sid makes a kissing sound nd laughs, how she can't be like this in front of boys, to which she walks to the office of Emma Hudson, her sister and Head Girl for the Middle School. Mary then tells how she believes it is unbelievable that Emma has an office even though she is doing nothing to solve any problem at the school. Emma then shows the cuts she got from the can of their mother, Morgana, telling how she had enough of being embarrassed and how being the Head Girl was the only good thing in her pathetic life because of how she received dignity at last. Mary tells her how it doesn't justify her laziness, to which she replies she is the one who convinced the Principal to have a better catering chain to run the canteen. Mary tells at leas that, but what about the rest, how many suffer, to which she replies dealing with other people's suffering can make the bullies increase the suffering she gets in her life by Morgana. Mary then tells even she experiences it, and shows her the brutal marks she got from a severe assault she got from some guy from the Demonic Peacock. Emma is then replying that is why she fears boys. She then mocks her of never having the courage of being near Richard, maybe he may even have the same, to which Mary leaves angrily.

Richard then walks angrily with Arthur who asks him where they are going to which he replies Emma's room. Sid then remarks his rescue of Mary, making fun of him knowing his secret crush on her to which he says shut up. Arthur asks him why he saved him since he knows Mary once rejected him when he tried helping her, to which he replies she was majorly assaulted, it is natural. Sid then tries mocking him for the rejection, to which he replies how he is taking great risks on his attempts at trying to bully us. Sid then pushes them severely saying it is nothing compared to Arthur calling him delusional for an idea he had on redeeming bullies after they empathized with him to cope up with his father's death, to which Arthur replies no one isn't as regretful for it than he is. To which looks at his hand with a brief sign of regret, then punches them brutally and kicks them, saying he had enough of them.

Richard and Arthur enter, telling a major rampage happened and how Arthur nearly got driven insane by Mr. God's toxin. he asks where is the action she is taken, to which she replies rudely in her mother's house being tortured. Richard then stares viscously at her. Arthur why she doesn't even support it, to which she replies people have become too dependent over others, using how Arthur depends on Richard too much for academics. Arthur points out the hypocrisy, stating her dependence of her assistant Claire. Emma then tells she actually doesn't, it just happens she helped her every single time. Richard then tells that they have the permission to send some paragraphs to the Principal called complaints. These complaints can get her removed. Richard then leaves, with Arthur following him, asking him why he is leaving when he knocked some sense in her, to which he holds his shoulders saying that he is a coward, and I'm pretty sure by the end of the day, he will lose the debate, thus he never wants to take the risk and lets go and tells him to keep moving. Claire then rings some food and water for Emma, to which she calmly replies thanks.

Meanwhile in Mantis city after 30 minutes, Commissioner Johnson orders a squad of troops to catch some drug dealers and members of the terrorist organization "Devils in Person". In top of an empty building, a bunch of drug dealers wait for some buyers. An enforcer of the organization called Cassowary then attacks them from the back, and puts his feet on them, threatening them with their deadly claws. Then the leader of the organization called the Demonic Peacock comes in, giving him permission to kill them if they don't have the gallium. They reply no because of their hatred for the organization. The strategist called Owler then manages to unlock a secret compartment in their truck. the Demonic Peacock then decides that they must kill him and use the toxin he bought from Mr. God, making their death far worse. However the Police Department comes so the buyers flee. The drug dealers try escaping however Commissioner Johnson told the police to block the exits and arrests them.
