Determined to test the limits of Laine’s beliefs, Kaine turns to his newspapers, and the frightful articles within.

“A” has always been proud of creating the world of dependent beings. Being explained by her own nature, she saw no need for another self-existent being to explain the universe she created. Little did she know that she had committed the fallacy of composition. All her beliefs about the world would unravel, when she encounters another similar being, who would lead her down a spiral of contradictions. As it turned out, these contradictions were merely a dream of a human called Sabrina, or was it?… Project Segment to be Assessed: 00:04-02:19 Video best viewed in HD 1080p

The exchange between the two is largely based on “The Exchange that Didn’t Happen”.
