## Synopsis

In the quiet days following Mark and Edison's departure, a conversation between Jun and Xuanyu strikes as they theorize about the humans of Kepkury.

## Summary

### Day 133: December 4, 2033

Jun reflects on the people who have passed away, expressing regret for not being able to save them during the Wood War. The setting is a quiet cemetery in a town that has not seen new buildings for a while. Clay, once Jun's enemy when he first attacked him on the New Month celebration night, is now a friend. They discuss the recent departure of Mark and Edison, stating that it's been three days. Jun places flowers on Irene's grave and, standing up, contemplates the purpose of human existence on the planet, feeling that he has finally gained insight. Later at night, Jun begins to dream. In a desert, Jun is with a group when an airship arrives, causing panic. The soldiers deploy and capture some individuals. Jun, resigned to his fate, is taken to President Williams. The president reveals they need Jun for a purpose, but Jun suspects foul play. The mention of his home triggers memories of a tragic event. The scene fades, and Jun wakes up in his house, experiencing recurring visions. Frustrated, he dismisses the dreams as useless.

### Day 134: December 5, 2033

Xuanyu, sitting at 07's baking shop, receives free bread with a "president's discount." The bread, filled with girugua cream, is a local delicacy. Jun appears in armor, explaining it's for protection due to lingering hostility from some citizens. Jun seeks Xuanyu's help, revealing vivid dreams about the truth of humans. Xuanyu dismisses them as just dreams, but Jun discloses his real name, Hisano Suzuki, and his lack of knowledge about it. Jun explains he's been getting more and more dreams about his past life. The conversation moves to Xuanyu's house. Xuanyu questions the odd visitors from a few days ago at SukiSushi, suggesting they might be homeless, but Jun notes their strange appearance. Xuanyu tries to reassure Jun, attributing his concerns to post-war trauma. A silence ensues as they eat. Xuanyu asks about Jun's dreams, and Jun describes vivid visions of running for their lives, being captured, and a mysterious man needing him for a reason. Xuanyu laughs it off, but Jun suggests they might be from Earth, with memories erased. Jun explains Earth's existence and explains that it's a human planet. Xuanyu grasps the concept of being sent from Earth by their own kind. They discuss the possibility of being placed on Kepkury by humans from Earth. Jun expresses hunger, causing a playful argument over bread with Xuanyu.

In the kitchen of SukiSushi, Chloe teaches Mikey and George how to make sushi. Frustrated with their lack of understanding, Chloe contemplates bringing the president into the kitchen, but George and Mikey laugh it off. George mentions having information for Jun, and Mikey asks if it's related to the Human City. Mikey explains details about the restricted human area called Novishi, located east of their current location. They speculate that humans might have come from there. Mikey describes Novishi as futuristic with a massive protective wall. Chloe expresses surprise at the revelation and agrees to inform Jun about it soon. Mikey reveals that the name of the human kingdom is Novishi to Chloe and George.

### Day 135: December 6, 2033

The next day, Chloe plans to go fishing for salmon and tuna since that was Edison's job and he left town. Jun and Xuanyu discuss a tournament while walking, and they encounter Chloe on her way to fish. George and Mikey are left in charge of SukiSushi, and George directs Mikey to set up the bamboo flower pot on the front deck. Concerned about being left alone to manage the restaurant, they worry about potential mishaps. Jun proposes hosting a tournament, and Xuanyu questions the idea of people facing off between the four massive walls. Jun suggests it would be fun, and Xuanyu inquires about the prize. Jun excitedly declares a prize of 100,000 krons and the opportunity to be the leader of the LCI for a month. Xuanyu is shocked, and Jun playfully emphasizes the tournament as a spectacular ending to the month.
