Ji-Hu is reluctantly awakened by Meda to embark on a family outing, dragging her from her mission-driven world to Gyeongbokgung Palace with Clementine and Hoya. Clementine's childlike wonder contrasts with Ji-Hu's bittersweet nostalgia as they explore the palace. She recalls her life in Joseon as a bridge between human and divine worlds, reflecting on how Kumihos went from revered to feared. Burdened by a starkly different upbringing as part of the Serpent's Hand, Hoya confronts Ji-Hu with deep-seated resentment for her past cruelties that scarred their bond and reputation. Meda lightens the day with a magical transformation into casual clothes for an amusement park visit, where laughter, shared moments, and Clementine's infectious joy briefly heal wounds. Later, back at Site-21K, Ji-Hu carries a sleeping Clementine to bed, reflecting on her guilt and Hoya's unresolved pain. Hoya, though softened by the day's moments, reveals her lingering inability to forgive Ji-Hu for the shadows of her past. Ji-Hu, struggling with guilt and determination, confides in Meda, who advises her to keep trying to mend the fractured relationships.

The next morning, the crisp, formal atmosphere of the Pyongyang conference hall matched the gravity of the discussions. Sunlight filtered through tall windows draped in heavy red curtains, casting deep shadows across the long polished table where Respected Comrade Kim Jong Un sat flanked by his closest advisors. Each advisor wore an expression of steely focus, their sharp gazes tracking every step I took toward my designated seat.
I adjusted my blazer, smoothing the lapels before stepping forward with measured confidence. My heels clicked against the marble floor, echoing in the cavernous hall. Kim Jong Un's expression remained inscrutable, but his sharp eyes followed every step I took, curiosity flickering briefly across his face. I inclined my head respectfully. "존경하는 위원장 동지," (Respected Chairman Comrade,), I began in polished Korean, my voice steady and carefully controlled. "오늘 우리의 제안에 대해 귀국의 결정을 듣기를 기대합니다." (Today, I look forward to hearing your nation's decision regarding our proposal.) Kim leaned slightly forward, his fingers interlaced on the table in front of him. His voice was calm, deliberate, and carried an air of authority that filled the room. "메다 동무," (Comrade Meda,), he said evenly. "당신의 제안은 흥미롭고도 위험합니다. 기술력과 감시 능력은 강력한 무기입니다. 그 무기가 우리 손에 쥐어지지 않는다면, 그건 우리를 위협하는 칼날이 될 것입니다." (Your proposal is both intriguing and dangerous. Technology and surveillance are powerful weapons. If those weapons are not firmly in our hands, they become blades pointed at us.)
