Synopsis
Kujou is attempting to walk in high heels being taught by Alice how to do so after being hired as a maid by her.

Heading to the library, they speak of their interest in books.

Remembering her attempts to meet Victor, Kujou was disheartened by the condescending attitudes of the publishing staff for her novel and desire to meet Victor.

As she sits crying in the street, Kujou is found by Alice.

What she also remembers most of all is how she found hope, and Kujou feels she must not separate from Alice's hands.

Alice's younger sister, Margaret joins her and Kujou. A member of the Rose Mansion, and elderly woman named Smith is also present.

Alice takes the time to give Kujou clothes she likes, and trying them on.

Noting how keen Kujou is to meet Victor, Alice agrees she would be able to help her with that. The one term Alice calmly states is that Kujou must kill her, which leaves her shocked.
