Reika is in a depressed funk after meeting Marlin and Diane. She is no longer excited about her growth, nor does she care about any sort of future she may have that could lead to her crossing paths with Marlin again. Fiona does her best to cheer her up and in the meantime finds a new friendship in Bethany as she tags along for the trip back to Midway City.
