He informs her of the Joker game that everyone is talking about. Uninterested in rumors, Anna brushes him off, only to attempt it herself when she finds herself alone in a back alley near Club Zodiac. Anna summons Joker, not having considered the possibility that the rumor might be true, she did not have an ideal to have granted by Joker, who readies himself to steal her dreams. She however interrupts him, simply stating that she no longer dreams, she has no ideals nor aspirations she yearns to achieve.
