Dialogue[]
Opening:[]
- (The card has been taken out of the bouquet and placed on the table in the lounge.)
- (There's a hastily written note on the card that says: 'Please cancel tonight's speech")
- (Kimi, Nikki, and Orlando sit around the table, all looking grim.)
- Nikki: What's this supposed to mean? Is this a friendly warning or some kind of threat?
- Orlando: If it was meant as a threat, it wouldn't have been delivered with roses.
- Kimi: The handwriting... looks kinda familiar.
- Nikki: Perhaps a friend of yours knows something and wants to give you a heads up?
- Kimi: Friend? He's not exactly my friend.
- Nikki: You already know who sent the flowers?
- Kimi: If I'm not mistaken, the handwriting belongs to Reid.
- Nikki: Reid? The chairman of Mercury Group?
- Momo: Isn't that the guy who stirred up trouble at the White Blossom Banquet?
- Orlando: Mercury Group has been a staunch supporter of the incumbent president. Could this be some kind of trap?
- Kimi: Whether it's a friendly warning or a trap, I'm not canceling tonight's speech.
- Nikki: But the card says...
- Kimi: Sure, we can't just ignore what the card says either. Orlando, I need you to step up security tonight.
- Orlando: Understood. I'll redeploy the guards and expand the security perimeter beyond the venue.
- (Orlando leaves the lounge in a hurry.)
- Nikki: Kimi, do you remember the day we were kidnapped and taken to North, when we were trying to take back White Blossom? I still remember the fear and panic like it was yesterday...
- Nikki: And now White Blossom has ended up in Nidhogg's hands. What if, I mean, what if your decision to run for president lands you in a similar situation, if not a more dangerous one?
- Kimi: Earlier you asked me why I decided to do this. Well, because I wanted to prevent another White Blossom incident from happening.
- Kimi: In this world of vanity, everyone is hiding behind a mask. The only person I truly know is myself. That's why I have to take matters into my own hands and make changes.
- Kimi: If you were in my place, you'd do the same.
- Nikki: If I were you...
- (The smile on Kimi's face dispels Nikki's concern. It's a smile brimming with confidence—the confidence to embrace whatever the future has in store.)
- Nikki: I understand now, Kimi.
- Kimi: Thank you, Nikki.
- Momo: Okay then, let's head out to the venue!
- Kimi: Hold on, Nikki. Can you help take a look at my outfit?
- Nikki: Apple-style luxurious suit?... You got it!
