A woman arrives expecting to find her best friend Lira dead, having sent assassins to secure her own victory in an upcoming tournament. To her shock, Lira is alive. Confronted by Lira and two men who witnessed the assassination attempt, the woman tries to deflect blame by reminding them of Lira's past abuse, only for the men to reveal they know she was the one who coached Lira and provided the whip. As she attempts to humiliate Lira about her lowly status, Lira calmly claims she lives in the exclusive Starbright Manor, leaving her accuser laughing in disbelief—until servants appear and welcome Lira home.
