*the cat having rushed off, himeko, with the two marbles in hand, goes nearer and nearer to the starship, with the Other luna standing just before the ship's entrance*

Other luna: you know you're my friend, right? *takes a key out of her pocket and throws it to himeko, who catches it while walking*

himeko (thought): yeah, but we're as friendly as one with a new laptop. i'm just a possession, nothing more.

*himeko looks through the stone and goes back inside the starship, which has now looked like nothing more than a drawing from the exterior. seeing nothing within it's walls, she comes across an empty cabin, with no furnishings and a door at the bottom. opening it, himeko sees stairs that lead to a dark, junk-filled room, a flickering flourescent (yeah right) light giving a way to see*

himeko: there's nothing here.

*something moans. himeko turns around to see the Other selene and the Other yukiko...or at least, something that looks like them*

himeko: eww! what's happened to you?!

Other selene: the Other luna sent us here.

Other yukiko: she imprisoned us here for saying too much.

himeko: you were found out?

both: yes...

himeko: well *a button eye falls from the Other yukiko. the Other selene's eyes having been removed* i guess i should go now.

Other selene: i'm afraid we can't do that.

himeko: why not?!

Other yukiko: we have to keep you from winning.

*the two now grossly deformed, blind Other forms begin to go after himeko, who runs quickly out of the cellar and shuts the door, imprisoning both entities within*

himeko: well, it's not there (thought) like it would ever be there.... i should go.

*she leaves*

himeko: this is so disturbing. where could that other soul be?

*walking around, she sees a huge rat pattering around holding a glass sphere. when she looks through the stone, she sees a cosmic blue-white glow*

himeko: there it is! *begins running after it only to find that the rat has escaped into a cabin she had never seen before. inside, it is very dark and through the best effort her vision can muster, sees a bunch of rats running around. a voice sounds*

???: hello, there, little girl. would you like to play with the rats?

himeko: no, thank you.

???: why not? please play with us. *in the direction of the voice, rats come out and surround himeko at all sides. she begins chasing the rat around the cabin, with the other rats going after her. she manages to catch it and retrieve the marble, running out of the cabin at breakneck speeds and shutting the door*

himeko: finally! i have three marbles!

*clapping*

???: good job.

*turning around, himeko sees the Other luna, furious*
