Celestia becomes confused, and asks why Soupina would need to do that, and the Soup King explains that something had happened between her and her sister, so Soupina wanted to destroy magic, but couldn't due to getting teleported out of the realm of magic by a unicorn, and because she was stuck seeing multiple dimensions, she had went insane. As according to the King, soup seemed to be the only thing keeping Soupina sane. Celestia asks what happened next, and the King takes a deep breath.

The Soup King sighs and orders his chef to get more, but the chef refuses, stating that this would be Soupina's 500,000,000th bowl. However, the King does not listen, while stating that it is the only thing keeping Soupina sane, as Soupina, stuck with her butterfly form eyes and wide eyed blank stare, slowly turns her head towards the chef, while saying in her monotone and robo voice, "Yes...more.",as she slowly turns her head facing the foward, much to the Chef's fear.
