In this chapter, we learn that the Panda has changed her expression from the last time she played the role of the Governess. The Panda tells us that he's still alive and that she's testing him to see if he really is her real self. Panda says that trying to act like a stuffed animal is very hard, but that it's okay if you want to admit that they aren't the same species. Panda tells the Panda that if he hadn't shown up in time to perform at the gala, he would have been in big trouble. Panda points out that he has seen all of Panda's rehearsals through his inter-reality mirror, and he can tell that Panda is suspicious of him. Panda reminds Panda that he still has the nerve to insult the deities, and Panda says he'll show Panda what real acting looks like tonight. Panda asks the Panda not to worry about anything, because she'll write a letter to the Panda first. Panda wants to forget about the Gala, but Panda reminds him that his performance is the end of the story.
