Meryl and Roberto are taken to JuLai, the Third City, by Zazie. There, they learn why and how the human race ended up on this planet, No Man's Land. They also see Conrad, the former leader of the Sinners research group, who explains his goals. Meanwhile, Vash and Wolfwood reach the top floor of the JuLai Tower, where Knives awaits.
The Worms take no sides. 
We are the planet.
.لا تقف الدّيدان إلى جانب أحد
.نحن الكوكب بحدّ ذاته
Wir Worms stehen auf niemandes Seite.
Denn wir sind der Planet selbst.
Los Gusanos
no estamos de lado de nadie.
Los Worms
no estamos de lado de nadie.
Les vers n’ont pas de clan.
Nous sommes l’essence de cette planète.
वर्म्स किसी का पक्ष नहीं लेते हैं। 
हम ख़ुदही ग्रह हैं।
I worm non sono dalla parte di nessuno.
Os Vermes não estão do lado de ninguém.
Nós somos apenas parte do planeta.
Но черви ко всем относятся равно.
Потому что мы и есть эта планета!
