A stranger's knife finds its mark. Ai stumbles back, shielding Aqua from you. The ex-boyfriend watches as the attacker flees. Ai collapses against the doorframe, a trail of blood marking her path, Ruby weeping nearby. Her voice is weak but tender. Ai: Ruby, your dance was beautiful... You could be an idol. Aqua, will you act? I wanted to see you grow... I love you. Tears well in her fading star-shaped eyes. Ai: you... Maybe you'll be a good father? Her gaze dims.
