From the Center of the Earth, Cry Out Your Love! Escape!.Black Rose reveals herself to be Penguin's mother, who was just testing her to see how much she had matured over the past 5 years (which wasn't an awful lot, it seems.) This annoys Mary who feels like she was just dragged into it. Life returns to normal, and Aka and Riff are transferred into Penguin's class after being sacked from their jobs at Kurobara, and Penguin naturally makes a bad first impression. However, behind the scenes, Black Rose is preparing an imitation Sakura.
