The narrator speaks, "Fifteen years after the war which nearly destroyed the Earth, people started to rebuild their normal lives. But... in this world without order, there was still a hell where the strong prey on the weak." While he speaks a peaceful farming community is suddenly attacked by a group of vultures, which quickly kill all resistance. Witz and Roybea are waiting at a fork in the road, wondering what a sign says. Roybea suggests "Heaven and Hell." Witz says he hates people who say things like that, then insists that his side is Heaven. The two then part, going off on small vacations because of the taxation of being on the Freeden all the time when they were used to small intervals as free lancers. In the Leopard, Roybea has hundreds of red roses, which he says are for love. And a yellow one which is "special." He then decides to, "start with 'A's."
