In the woods, Cuphead and Strawberry, walked through it.

Strawberry Crème: Where are we going?

Cuphead: You'll see.

Cuphead separates a bush and reveals something.

Strawberry Crème: Whoa....

The duo walked over to the pool.

Strawberry Crème: What's this?

Cuphead: He's the one who's gonna help us.

Strawberry Crème: ??

Cuphead: His name is Quadratus and he knows everything. He helped me and my bro twice. He helped us with the invisible sweater and he helped me get down to hell to save Mugman.

Strawberry Crème: I'm sorry, what?

Cuphead: I'll tell you later. Incoming fizzy jawbreaker!

Cuphead throws a jawbreaker in the pool.

Quadratus: I appreciate your summoning donation.

Then, Quadratus appeared.

Quadratus: But not while I'm on winter vacation.

Cuphead: It's not even winter, Quadratus. Listen, a friend of mine....her soul in danger.

Strawberry Crème walks up.

Strawberry Crème: Hello.

Cuphead: We need your help!

Quadratus: You need the invisible sweater again, do you not?

Cuphead: Yes!

Quadratus: Alright....now where did I put it? Ah-ha, here it is!

Cuphead: The sweater is already knitted?

Quadratus: Indeed. Because the girl cup's family is dead and has no other close relatives.

Cuphead: Oh.

Cuphead gives Strawberry the invisible sweater and she puts it on.

Strawberry Crème: Huh. It feels warm and cozy. Quadratus....that's your name right?.....what is the sweater affected with?

Quadratus: Friendship, of course.

Strawberry Crème: And will it keep me safe from the Devil.

Quadratus: Indeed, it will.

Strawberry Crème: Thanks! Com'n, Cuphead! Let's head home.

Meanwhile, with Mugman and Chalice....

Mugman: I hope those two made up.

Chalice: I'm guessing they did.

Cuphead and Strawberry walked through the door.

Cuphead: Hey, guys!

The other two walked over to them.

Mugman: Hey, bro! How are you feeling?

Cuphead: I'm feeling great, Mugsy.

Chalice: How are you feeling now, Strawberry?

Strawberry Crème: I'm feeling great, actually. Cuphead took me to see Quadratus and now I have an invisible sweater on. Isn't it amazing?

Mugman: No way! That's awesome!

Chalice: Your soul is safe for sure.

Strawberry Crème: Yep!

Mugman: I'm glad it all worked out now.

Nighttime falls and in her light pink nightgown and wearing the invisible sweater, Strawberry sits on the mattress, hugging her knees and looks at Cuphead.

Strawberry Crème: Cups?

Cuphead: Yes?

Strawberry Crème: Thank you.

Cuphead: For what?

Strawberry Crème: For helping me.

Cuphead: Oh! It's no biggie. I wanted to make it up to you for dragging you into the carnival in the first place.

Strawberry Crème: It's alright. All is forgiven. At least my soul is safe forever. (yawns) Welp, night.

Strawberry Crème: Night.

Both of them fell asleep.
