Summary
Knives curses William for withholding such crucial information from him as Elendira plays with some cards. He then notes that Vash won't be so precarious with the power of his Angel Arm arm as well. Chuckling at Knives monologue, Elendira assures Knives that she relishes the conflict between Knives and Vash. Elsewhere, Vash, Wolfwood, and an old man investigate the Plant that Knives went on a rampage at. At the location of where the Plant died, Vash recognizes it as someone named Tesla.

A flashback with a young Vash and Knives riding on the Project SEEDS ship shows them attend a party with a woman called Rem. Afterward, Vash and Knives visit the cryogenic pod area where numerous people are in sleeping stasis. Knives then asks Vash if they can become friends with the humans when they awaken and Vash believes they can, but it'll take time for them to gain their trust. Later Knives watches a film about the dark side of humanity and realizes that not all humans are like Rem.

An E-2 (Emergency Level 2) alarm is sounded because of an error in the piloting system. Rem rushes to the scene where the alarm is raised to an E-3 and as Rem tries to fix it, the rest of the crew begin to awaken.
