They're going to get a new robot soon. The narrator assures us that they'll get back the robot soon, and that the memory of the robot will still be retained. They keep the secret from Luo, because they're afraid of upsetting the competition. They apologize to the narrator for pulling him out of the room, but he can't understand why they pulled him out. He wants to see her happy, even if she doesn't tell him. He's regretting the bet he made with his brother, and he wants to return to his grandfather's side of the family. He says that since he joined the team against the will of his grandfather, all the family wants is like a vine wrapped around his body, and they've been tugging him back ever since. He decides to think about it. He asks why they couldn't invite them to meet her after she turned one. He wonders if she treats the robot like a family or friend or a person who has accompanied her throughout her life. The two of them will start their life together.
