He approaches Roland who has been staring at him from across the lobby. Confused on where he is, he asks Roland for information. Roland's eyes flash and he soon begins speaking to himself. However he mentions Perio's "friend" and Perio begins hearing what is presumed to be a past conversation with him and his friend. It is cut off, however when Erik begins talking to Roland about the tournament. Roland continues to confuse Perio by introducing him to Labana (Who is fronting as Damara) and claiming that he knows everything about him. He annoys Perio at the end of this exchange with a purposeful pun. After Kaizen enters the lobby and sits on Roland's body, and then kicks Roland into the sky. Perio asks Kaizen to stop complaining and a it begins to escalate, but Altar steals Kaizen's body and teleports away.

After they regain consciousness, the lobby now joined by Guffaw watches the beginning of Arnt and Altar's fight. During this time, Perio asks Roland what he's been doing. Roland reveals that he had read Perio's mind and used his Relapse ability to make Perio relive his memories. Perio notes the lack of fighting utility Roland's powers have and Roland reveals that he has a trump card up his sleeve. Another argument breaks out as Roland refuses to listen to Perio's advice. Having been ignored by Roland, and then let down by the other fighters in the lobby, Perio loses his temper and attempts at attack Roland using his Pyrophoric Skin. Roland proceeds to grab Perio by the neck and ground him. The move causes the fire on Perio's arm to begin burning away at his flesh.
