Only the best decisions are made.
- First scene opens with Chuubo having tea at Miramie's shop, discussing her anxieties around her dreams, extended metaphors around if she were a giant nasty snake that could accidentally hurt things, and the strange girl she's seen in her dreams. Miramie successfully avoids disclosing that she's that girl, and suggests that Chuubo isn't monstrous and that maybe she should try talking to the Dream-Witch next time she sees her.
- Offscreen, Attaris broke the metaphysical plumbing of dreams in a neighborhood and has worked all week to fix it with the assistance of Leondardo de Montreal, who fell out of his own nightmares during the break. They were talking in Miramie's shop when Chuubo and Jasper came by. Discussion of Leo's professional credentials are had; they discuss whether his heart is also Jasper's heart re: custody; Chuubo asks if him taking out his heart is why they're no longer friends, and Leo reveals that it's [partially] because she didn't believe her back then, either; Leo is very vehement that he could make powerful and delicious nightmare coffees and Attaris invokes tribulations upon him for this; Chuubo and Jasper are cute and cuddly around each other and Leo proposes inventing a breath mint/mite that could keep Jasper's throat cool to enjoy the novelty of cold drinks (and, Chuubo considers, kissing); they all discuss the S.E.E.D. program and the costs of it; and eventually discuss the wish-granting engine and some wishes they may make
In the final scene, Chuubo makes a wish based on the last conversation they had in the teashop:
"the world- if it was really founded on suffering, if there's an element of suffering that pervades every moment of our existence- i wish it wasn't. i wish it didn't. make it stop."
When suffering no longer has meaning,
When the thread between desire and dukkha is cut,
When Rinley is empowered to end the world,
