Tetsuro decides to assist Fraiya, a struggling amateur animator who feels she lacks the brilliance displayed by others on this planet. Acting on Fraiya's suggestion to acquire an item she can sell with assurance, she presents Tetsuro with the storyboard for her anime project. Additionally, she gives him a personal figure. This interaction highlights the economic struggles faced by artists in this society and marks a specific exchange between the two characters as they navigate the planet's social hierarchy.
