Being human requires a lot of effort. There is a list of what it takes to be human, and it's unbefitting if you will not obey these. 

First, you must be involved in politics all the time, otherwise people will call you ignorant and careless towards your society.

Second, you must always maintain a figure that pleases everyone, or else your image will be tainted your whole life. 

Third, be smart enough so you will be able to project an image that is striking to the audience's eyes. 

And although the list goes on, the last one that is important is this: to never show your feelings to others, or they will always take your vulnerability for granted.

Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home!
