Vincent and Kyu burst into a custom motorcycle magazine. Since they are forced to repair the bikes they destroyed by mistake, they form friendships with the bikers and head off on a trip with them. Though Kyu is thrilled, Vincent is bored. The two kids have different ideas of freedom. But a young female biker accompanying them gets them to see eye-to-eye. Taking her own story as an example, she understands the budding feelings between Vincent and Kyu.
As soon as they arrive in a health magazine, Vincent inadvertently swallows the anomaly that would allow them to continue their voyage. It's therefore absolutely necessary to remove this foreign body from his body, and finding a surgeon shouldn't be so hard in this magazine... But lo and behold, it seems that most time is spent dealing with false health problems in this world... So much so that the idea of health has little meaning in the unchanging Flat world, even when you have a bicycle in your stomach!
Vincent and Kyu fall into a magazine of personal ads in which Kyu discovers what parents are. She doesn't want to leave this magazine because she thinks she's found what our friends have been looking for from the beginning, the closest thing to the real world. Vincent can't get her to change her mind. Vincent ends up leaving Kyu. But the 'parents' in this magazine of personal ads aren't there to love children but to sell things. Kyu will find something through the ads - not 'parents' who don't love her, but something better, a true friend...Vincent.
