After Geeta defeats Dana, she confronts Dana about the act. She asks Dana why she's hiding her fighting spirit and passion for battles, pretending to be someone she's not. Dana starts laughing and drops the act. She explains that she has to play the part of a beautiful and elegant for the sake of the Battle Maison's guests. She's always raring to go all out in battle, but she has to shut those feelings away to help the Maison be successful, and she's frustrated that Geeta came along and got her fired up for a good battle. After thinking about it for a moment, though, she decides that her big sister is going to hear about this regardless, so they may as well have some fun while they're at it.

Geeta apologizes for saying so much, recognizing that Dana is just a little stressed because of her job.
