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.
But today this flower 
before me is praising you
لكنّ هذه الزّهرة أمامي تثني عليك اليوم
Für mich zählt nur diese Blume
hier bei mir,
पर आज मेरे सामने यह फूल
 तुम्हारी तारीफ़ कर रहा है
Hoje esta flor que está diante
de mim está apenas te louvando
