The buildings surrounding Joseph and Dun begin to crumble, as Joseph notices his wife in the group of people; he then proceeds to follow her down an alley and into a restaurant. Jenna sings the lyrics "sometimes you've got to bleed and know / that you're alive and have a soul". Joseph then sings the following line, "but it takes someone to come around / to show you how". Jenna starts choking, punching, kicking, and beating Joseph until he is bleeding. Jenna then holds his chin and they kiss.
