It's morning at the aria, and we're introduced to the new president of the company, a man named clack. He's a former postman, and he's now the president of a company called aria. clack says hello to everyone and asks if they're all there for the meeting with Mr. Anno. He asks if anyone has made a reservation for tomorrow's meeting, and then clack jokes that he'll be lying if he says he doesn't feel lonely. He says that summer has ended, and the air is getting clearer. He thinks that clack is great at finding things in everyday life that make him happy, and clack compliments him on his ability to find happiness in everyday things. He also says that he thinks clack will soon be a "wonderful undine" , and that he hopes he will be a great undine too.
