Yasuha exclaimed, "Shit! Let's go!" As he prepared to run out the restaurant door. However, Taka restrained Yasuha by grabbing him by the shoulder, saying, "You idiot, we can't just bust out guns-a-blazing y'know? There'll be a huge risk of gettin' hurt by her ability. She knows this, that's why she ran outside." Taka walked towards a large glass window, looking at Cosmic Girl, who was across the street. She was awaiting the two, knowing that they would eventually need to come outside to chase after her.

Yasuha told Taka, "The longer we wait, the further away Starman gets. Hell, he could be boarding the train as we speak!" Taka continued to look at Cosmic Girl, eventually saying, "She's outside the range of Salad Days. We need to get out if we want to harm her." People in the surrounding area continued to explode, releasing eyeballs at a high velocity. Dozens of eyeballs could be seen in every corner of the street, the entire place having been littered with them. Taka questioned, "When are the paramedics gonna get here? Surely they've heard of all the casualties of the bird incident, plus this whole mess."

Yasuha responded, "According to the news, a ton of ambulances carrying the injured were also crashed. But that doesn't matter right now! We've gotta fight Cosmic Girl!" Taka hesitated, saying, "One small slip up and we end up just like all those bystanders." Yasuha said, "We've gotta take the risk. Like I just said, Starman could be boarding that train as we speak!" Taka was silent for about 5 seconds before saying, "Fine." He raised his finger as he hummed a melody, shooting down the door with his ability.

The two carefully walked towards Cosmic Girl, making sure to stay clear of any eyeballs. Yasuha nearly stepped on one, however, Taka saved him just as his shoe was about to crush the eye. Cosmic Girl began to speak from the other side of the street, "5 years ago, I had eaten the food which gave me the ability I have now. It seems I had already known how to activate the ability in the back of my head, strange how that works. Anyways, I decided to test out the ability on a bicycle which had been laying out in the open."

Cosmic Girl held back a tear before continuing, "I decided to test my ability on the bicycle. Nothing had happened, however, the owner of the bike eventually returned. She sat on the bike and got ready to take off, but suddenly, she had grown a stomachache. She clenched her stomach, clearly ill. Starman looked over at me, knowing that my ability had somehow caused the incident. However, it didn't end at a simple stomachache. She vomited dozens upon dozens of eyeballs, which would later come out of every opening in her body. Me and Starman backed away, both of us feeling the presence of a major calamity about to set in."

Cosmic Girl grabbed onto a drain pipe as the two got closer, "She would then explode, releasing hundreds of eyeballs into the surrounding area. The eyes hit other objects and people, who would also meet the same fate as the cyclist. The ability spread quickly, and by the end, I believe hundreds had died. The whole thing traumatized me... I had no idea I was capable of such destruction. I wondered if there was anyone on this planet who deserved such a horrifying fate, and that was the first and last time I had ever used the ability. Well, until now. You two deserve it. Every last bit of it! I'll burn this god-forsaken city to the ground if it means you'll both meet your ends!"

Eyeballs had begun to roll out the drain pipe Cosmic Girl held onto, which headed towards Taka and Yasuha's direction. The two managed to avoid them, however, Cosmic Girl picked up a scrap car part which had somehow been laying near her, and used it to hit and propel several eyeballs towards the two. She then threw the part far away, where it broke down into eyeballs. Taka managed to shoot down the eyeballs before they could hit him, telling Yasuha, "Hey! Try to make a dome of flesh or somethin', anything that can protect us!"

Yasuha shook his head, "Won't work. Me and the created flesh are one and the same. If it gets hit, Cosmic Girl's ability will hurt me as well." Taka responded, "Well, shit. We need to get closer to her, but the risk of getting hit by an eye is too great to ignore. If only-" Suddenly, Taka's sentence was interrupted. The two heard the loud sound of an oncoming motorcycle, Cosmic Girl looking over as well.

The motorcyclist managed to somehow avoid hitting the hundreds of eyeballs laying on the floor, and they stopped right in front of Taka and Yasuha. They took off their helmet, revealing their true appearance. They were Hot Soup, the chef responsible for making the ability-granting meals.
