;Plot Summary
Back in Nikaro's apartment Yumi rants about the arrival of the scholars and their machine. Painter is defends the idea of the machine, pointing at the precise nature of the yoki-hijo's job and the way machines have improved the lives of people in his own world. Yumi continues searching for reasons she dislikes the machine, thinking it must be part of why the spirits called out for her aid. Eventually she settles and begins to practice painting bamboo, though she feels ready to advance to something new. There is a knock at the door, which Yumi opens to reveal not just Akane--who has been inviting her to eat frequently--but also Tojin, Masaka, and Izzy. They insist that she take a break from her alleged studies and join them for dinner. Painter tells her to send them away, but Yumi can't stand the idea of another day spent painting bamboo and decides to go.
 
At the Noodle Pupil Nikaro goes to speak with Design, leaving Yumi alone with the other four painters. She pays special attention to Tojin. Nikaro led her to believe his interest in bodybuilding was about being attractive to women. Yumi notes his interactions with his male friends as they discuss their weightlifting, as well as his shyness when Izzy draws attention to him. She asks him why he does it and she learns more about his true motivations. She also notes Akane's apparent interest in the man. Izzy then brings attention to the upcoming spaceship launch. This is the first Yumi has heard of this mission, and quickly moves to speak with Painter. She approaches the bar to see Design working to lengthen his [[Connection]] to his body, extending the range they can be apart from one another. Design says she will look for a device that can shed some insight on Yumi's Connection to her world. They discuss the spaceship mission and both wonder if it might be related to what the spirits have done to them.
