Realizing tomorrow is Percival's 16th birthday, as the boy forgot, Balgis tries to convince Percival to explore the outside world but he doesn't show interest.

Later that night, as the two are eating sky fish, Percival hears his grandfather speak a motto in his drunken state and as they go to bed, Percival sneaks out to go to the top of the hill and ponders on what his grandfather spoke of.
