63)
1: THE HEART OF THE EARTH
2: The heart of the earth?!
3: Is that some kind of metaphor?

5: You see, the earth really does have a heart.

64)
1: Isn't that just one kind of special pathological theory?

4: It is not a metaphor. The earth is really about to die!!
5: Even if I simulate revival methods on the computer, they all end in failure.
6: klak

65)
1: The copying is finished.

3: You'll soon see that the earth does indeed possess a heart...!!
