*himeko is searching around the starship and comes to an abandoned room with a toy box. when she opens it, the toys spring to life and begin walking and moving around. the dolls are talking on their cell phones and the toy soldiers are duking it out in an all out toy war. she begins to look through the stone and sees that everything has become monochrome except for a fiery orange-red glow. she looks and sees that it is a marble*

himeko: is this it?

*she picks up the marble and puts it in her pocket. at that moment, the toys stop moving. she gets out of the room and goes out into the fake city of Aekea. while searching, a mysterious presence guides her into the cinema, which, at this point, has been abandoned and is now rotting*

himeko: in there?

*himeko goes inside, with moss growing on the sides and concession stands are almost completely destroyed. she goes inside the theater where she saw the two boys perform. it is deteriorating and seats are upturned and are falling apart. the stage, with curtains riddled with moth holes and floorboards loose and broken, has a cocoon-like figure with two sleeping heads, two pairs of arms, and two pairs of legs; she recognizes them as the performers*

himeko: gross. i guess the Other luna is unable to create this world. she can only twist everything to make this place. i wonder who they are in the real world.

*himeko looks through the stone and sees a glow that looks like chocolate ice cream within the greatly disturbing entity*

himeko: it's in there? i'm going to need to puke afterwards.

*she, reluctantly, puts her hand within the sticky mess of the cocoon. feeling around, she is able to get the marble, which, when she pulls it out, is completely clean*

himeko: that's good. i have two souls.

*suddenly, a voice on the wind blows by*

???: well done. get out of here. they no longer take kindly to visitors.

*surely enough, the creature awakens and sees himeko with the marbles. it then begins to violently thrash around in a futile attempt to get her*

monster performers: stop! thief! get back here!

*himeko, in a panic, runs out of the cinema with the marbles in hand*

???: very good. only one more.

himeko: what for? she's not planning to let me go.

???: you're cleverer than i thought.

*himeko turns around and sees the cat*

himeko: what are you doing here?

cat: i came to warn you. i mean, of course she's not letting you go. *they talk as they walk around* she's doing everything in her power to keep you from winning.

himeko: well, she can't keep me in the dark forever.
