Dr. Choque and the little girl ride the horses through the Space Ring. Some people are tending to the gardens, other are exercising. Narration reads 'He's probably dying and dragged me here so I'd forgive him...'. The little girl says 'How was the trip?', Choque replies 'Eh...'. The little girl says 'Must be nice to watch the earth slowly drift away...', and Dr. Choque tries to make polite conversation ''Well...', but then the girl continues '...I stopped using the elevator as soon as teleportation was available...'. Then we see Choque sitting on a chair while the girl brings him a beverage. The girl says 'Did you know that a property with a view of earth is more expensive? We're a nostalgic species after all. This juice is made with 100% Amazon water. Nothing reused!'. Choque reaches for the glass and says 'Th-thank you. Uhm...'. He then grabs a picture frame and looks at a younger version of himself with his friend, at a protest agains the privatization of the Rainforest. He says 'Shouldn't you call your... grandpa? I've been waiting for a while'. The girl looks surprised and says 'Didn't you notice? Choque, it's me!'. The narration continues 'I'd forgotten that this technology exists here.'
