Janu observes Juna petting Spudge for an extended period, leading to a banter-filled argument about Spudge's nature and intelligence. After Juna leaves for an outing, Spudge uses his text-to-speech device to express unease about Juna. He admits to feeling a strange sense of familiarity with her, as if they knew each other in another life, and questions whether he and Dice exist across different worlds or within a shared consciousness. Janu takes Spudge to the school rooftop to talk privately, where Spudge confesses that his recent absence was an attempt to clear his mind regarding these confusing existential feelings. The event concludes with a rare, sincere moment of mutual respect between the two, as they acknowledge the complexity of their bond and agree to keep their conversation about Juna secret.
