The first panel shows Toothless sliding his mask up off his face and says, “I suppose so? But how do you get an unknown, helpless old man out of the hospital?”. The second panel shows Toothless looking up at the slide. He says, “Besides, it's a lot harder for old bones to crawl up the slide than it is to slide down it.” Sayuri and Hisao also look up at the slide. The third panel shows Hisao coughing, “Huff Huff.” He covers his mouth with his arm and says, “I know you said that you're not responsible for what happens in the playground but…” The fourth panel shows Hisao sweating. He says, “If you are set free, will everything go back to normal? Would everyone be fine again?” The fifth panel shows Toothless sitting on the ground. He says, “I… I don't know.” The sixth panel shows the top of a swing set. In the background, Toothless says, “This is a first time for me as well, remember?”
