It seemed that all the progress made with Tira disappeared. Her sour and malicious attitude returned and she no longer wanted to listen to anything Taki and Talim told her. As difficult she was being though, the two didn't stop showing love and acceptance, as so long people or themselves were not in harm's way. After they managed to finally get her to speak up, it was revealed that Tira didn't believe she could shake her past nor get any forgiveness at all. They learned about the crimes she committed to the Alexandra sisters, her surrogate family and Yoshimitsu's men, which were the ones that impacted her most. After some more talking, the group decided that in order for Tira to improve, she had to have reassurance of some kind that things could get better. They happened to be near the homeland of the Alexandra sisters. Yoshimitsu was one thing, but the Alexandra sisters might actually be capable of being that listening ear Tira so desperately needed. Tira was scouting one of Sophitia's children for Nightmare and Sophitia and Cassandra knew this. But perhaps with Taki and Talim being there and also given the fact that Tira no longer had allegiance with Nightmare, maybe things could work. Talim sent a message to the Alexandra sisters asking if they could come with a friend. While waiting for the response to return, Talim spent extra time with Tira consoling her and giving her the courage to face one of her victims with the intention of asking forgiveness. Talim also suppressed the evil energies in Tira in the hopes they wouldn't trigger anything during the meeting.

When the welcome was extended, all the girls headed over to the land of Greece. Tira looked deathly pale as they stepped on the stairs of the temple of Hephaestus, the rendezvous point. The Alexandra sisters were already waiting for them. Taki and Sophitia knew each other from way back, near the time Soul Edge first started to terrorize the world. Together, they defeated Cervantes and Soul Edge. Although it wasn't exactly any kind of bonding incident for them, both women gained an unspoken appreciation for each other. Tira managed to hide away while Talim and greeted the sisters. "Taki, you said you wanted our audience in a discussion. What's the matter?" asked Sophitia. "It's not us that needs to do the talking, it's her" said Taki as Talim lead Tira out. Tira made every intention of presenting herself properly with the hopes that the chaotic Tira of a few months ago would not be the person Sophitia saw. That included washing out the green out of her hair and learning how to act in humility. When Talim was helping her with that, Talim made mention she thought the green hair was very attractive. As expected, the Alexandra sisters were enraged at her sight. "What is the meaning of this?!" yelled Cassandra. "You brought that monster here!" "Cassandra, Sophitia, please listen. Tira needs to say something and you need to listen. Just give her a chance. We'll be right here," pleaded Talim. Tira got on one knee and bowed her head. "I just wanted…I'm…" Tira froze up. "Well what is it? Stop wasting my sister's time!" yelled Cassandra again. "You can do it," whispered Talim to Tira. "I'm…not the same Tira that you fought with Sophitia. I was hoping, we could start over again," said Tira as boldly as she could. "Are you asking me for forgiveness?" said Sophitia. "You expect me to believe that you are a changed person and want me to forget what you put my family through. You want me to forget that you wanted to kidnap my children for Nightmare? You want me to forget that you broke into our house and put your hands on my daughter you naughty child!?" yelled Sophitia. "I'm sorry!" sobbed Tira with streams of tears covering her face. "I'm good now!" "Liar" added Cassandra. "I'm not!" defended Tira. "Yes you are!" egged Cassandra as she marched toward Tira. "I don't know what game you two are playing, but that menace is not allowed near my niece and nephew. If you are with her, you need to leave too." Tira wept loudly and ran away full speed. Talim looked back at the sisters. Cassandra was enraged, but Sophitia did seem to be torn. It was obvious that she didn't regret her responses. Still, it wasn't like Sophitia to enjoy expressing such emotions. "I need to find her. Talim, you stay and try to explain things to the sisters if they wish to listen," commanded Taki. Taki sprinted away to try to tail Tira. "We're sorry, we went too far," said Sophitia. "What we said had to be done, but if what you say is true, she shouldn't have been fed such chastising words". "It's okay. She needs to hear those words," agreed Talim. "She never heeded the pleas and cries of the people she hurt. If she really wants to change, she has to bear this pain."

Tira blindly ran into town until she could run no more. One could only imagine what the people saw when they beheld her. Her look of desperation and madness was eerie to look upon. But it got out of control when someone recognized her. "It's the monster that tried to hurt the Alexandra Family!" one cried. Instantly, the people dropped what they were doing and surrounded Tira. Sophitia and her family were respected and beloved in the land. They had every intention of making Tira pay. In the middle of the huddle, Tira was cowering like an animal and frantically looking around her. Terror was overwhelming her. "Get her!" yelled one of the townspeople. Tira's pupils narrowed as instinct kicked in. She pulled out a dagger she had hidden away in her boot and was seconds away from committing massacre. "TIRA!" cried Taki as she bounded into the huddle. "Stop!" commanded Taki as she took Tira's shoulder. Without thinking, Tira turned on Taki and plunged the dagger into her. Only after the deed was done, Tira realized what happened. Cries of surprise echoed all over. Taki fell to a knee, clutching the crimson-coated blade in her abdomen. "No…" cried Tira. She ran away from Taki and everyone. "Let's follow her!" cried one on looker. "No" said another, "She needs help. Someone fetch some help" Taki gritted her teeth and pulled the dagger out. The wound was not as bad as it seemed at first. Taki was sure that Tira was aiming for her heart, but at the last moment, shifted her strike downward. Even as she attacked her, no evil was in her eyes. She was scared. "Tira" said Taki to herself. Tira was truly someone to be pitied. She claimed she could never be accepted because of the way she was. Taki and Talim were sure they could make the difference. Tira had to be found and calmed down, but not now. First, the wound would have to be mended.
