Utena looks over the duel arena in horror. The desks each have a leaf hairclip on top of them.

Wakaba: I swear by this black rose...
Anthy: Utena-sama...
Wakaba: ...that I will triumph in this duel...
Anthy: Draw the sword from me.
Wakaba: ...and bring death to the Rose Bride!
Anthy: The sword! Hurry!
Utena: Anthy... I can't. I can't fight her! To point a sword at my friend, Wakaba...

Wakaba charges through the rows of desks toward Anthy.

Anthy: Quickly! The sword!
Wakaba: That's right! I'm going to kill her! I'll kill the bitch who stole Saionji-sama's heart!
Utena: Saionji?

The bells near the duel arena ring. Utena and Anthy just barely avoid Wakaba’s sword.

Utena: Why are you doing this? You've been so radiant, Wakaba... So why?
Wakaba: You just don't understand! You couldn't possibly understand!
Anthy: Quickly, quickly, the sword!

Utena remembers a time before when she and Wakaba saw Saionji.

Wakaba: Oh, Saionji-sama!
Utena: Saionji?
Wakaba: Student Council Vice President and captain of the kendo club, Saionji Kyoichi-sama.

Anthy falls to the ground as Wakaba goes towards her. Utena stands over Anthy.

Utena: Stop, Wakaba! Stop it now! Wakaba!

Wakaba slices again and cuts some of Utena's hair. Utena has another flashback to the same time period.

Utena: That Saionji, is he going out with that Himemiya girl?
Wakaba: No way! There's no way Saionji could ever have feelings for a girl like her. The only reason they're together is because they're in the Student Council.

Wakaba grabs Utena by the hair and points her sword at her neck.

Anthy: Utena-sama!
Wakaba: You, that girl, the Student Council members... All of you look down on me! Without a care in the world, flaunting the power you were all born with! So you can all so calmly...
Anthy: Utena-sama!
Wakaba: ...walk over everyone else!!

She draws back her sword, ready to stab Utena. Utena manages to stand up and hold off her sword.

Utena: Wakaba... Certainly there are a lot of things I don't know. But I do know this for sure. You are my precious friend. Please wait, and I will save you.

Utena turns and uses Wakaba's sword to cut off her rose. The desks move into four squares around Wakaba, who screams as the rose petals fly around her. The bells near the duel arena ring again.
