The chapter opens with a description of the dock where Ani and Akari meet for practice. Ani tells us that she's been looking for the kitten, which she thinks belongs to her, but hasn't seen anyone since she arrived at the dock. Ani thinks that the kitten must have been thrown away by someone, but she doesn't know why. Ani says that she can't bear to say goodbye to the kitten because she'll grow attached to it. Ani also says that the previous president of the planet passed away recently, and Ani thinks he looked like a cat. Ani asks if the previous cat was from manhome, and the cat replies that he was from the man-home. Ani wonders if Ani has a bite problem, but the cat says that it's just a matter of time before she finds out what's going on. Ani worries that Ani will find out about the kitten soon enough, and that she won't be able to take care of it. She decides to go back to her dorm and ask for advice from the company.
