Nari and Sayuri struggle with their first night at ERA, facing two major problems: they have no credits to buy food, and their dorm room feels like a sauna. Despite having money from their music career, they can’t convert it into credits, leaving them broke and starving.
Desperate, Sayuri suggests asking their cousin Ridley for help, initially joking about breaking him out of wherever he is. Nari, however, takes a more strategic approach, using her persuasive skills (DMing him threats of kidnapping) to get Ridley to send them some credits instead. Sayuri is impressed by her sister’s effortless manipulation.
With their food crisis seemingly solved, Nari decides to freshen up, complaining about the unbearable heat, while Sayuri plans to follow after. The scene ends with the two preparing to meet up with Ridley.
