The professor is waiting for him in his workshop. He asks if he can pick a cabochon. The professor says he can, but the cabochons are not for sale. He says he wishes he could try them on, but they are the last of the delicate designs from the artist who painted them. He tells the professor that they are his favorite, and the professor is embarrassed. He tries to explain that he wants to see more of the place. He wants to know if the professor and the arimura are in the same room. The room is full of projectors, displaying images from the workshop that the professor wanted to show him. He gives the professor the ring he made out of a little whale.
