While Leon was re-experiencing his past trauma in his awful nightmare, Mako narrated his entire altered story of their Terra Beetle encounter to Iris who was listening with great interest.
She was quite impressed with the feats that Mako had told her about even though he had cut out several bits of information to make it look less suspicious.
After that, Mako asked Iris to share a bit of her own experience on the island and why did she even sign up for the test in the first place. Iris was quite shy at first about telling her own story and Mako could sense her uncertainty.
He assured her that if she didn't want to talk about then that was perfectly fine as well. Iris appreciated the gesture but said that it would be unfair after all she got to hear so much about him.
Iris started off by explaining that she and Erin were both childhood friends and that they both lived together ever since they were little in a city called Rivenwood City.
