Summary
Aboard Princess Lorelei, Anya excitedly observes the various facilities on the ship, including a pool, a circus, and the game room. Anya is eager to explore the ship on an adventure but is disappointed upon seeing that their third-class suite is small and cramped, assuming that it's one of the ship's jail cells. However, she quickly recovers and is excited as she's never slept on a bunk bed before. Loid comments that Yor's group is likely in first-class since she is with the dignitaries.

In the first-class suite, Matthew McMahon introduces himself as the Director of Policy at Berlint City Hall and two bureaucrats from their business development team, Heymann and Vides, including Yor. Yor's latest clients, a man and a woman with her child, introduce themselves as Furseal Grey from Arhaus Department Stores and his wife, Shaty. Yor notes that Shaty must be Olka Gretcher and that her appearance is very different from the photo, probably to travel incognito. Furseal observes that Yor must be Olka's assigned bodyguard and wonders if she can protect Olka despite her slim appearance. The two bureaucrats offer to give the Greys a tour of the ship, though Olka refuses while citing the need to take of her baby. As the group leaves, Furseal expresses concern for leaving just the two of them alone. Matthew assures him that Yor is strong.

Now alone with Olka, Yor inspects the suite for possible entry and escape routes. Yor talks with Olka, who says Furseal is a member of her crew playing a part, and she talks about her desire to live a quiet life with her son. Olka then requests that she and her son go outside for a short moment. Yor is initially hesitant, but Olka says their enemy does not know what she looks like and knows that Yor will protect her, and Yor accepts. As they prepare to leave, Yor nervously looks outside the door. Olka questions her actions, and Yor says her family is also aboard the ship.

In the ship's atrium, Anya tells Loid they must explore the ship before it sinks, embarrassing her father. Loid observes his surroundings, seeing the ship is a potential target for terrorism and should stay vigilant. When Anya notes that he is not having fun, Loid remembers Sylvia telling him to treat the trip like any other mission. He decides to refocus his efforts on attaining optimal recreation and tells Anya they should watch a show.

Yor explains to Olka that her family's presence on the ship is a coincidence and that they are unaware of her real job. Olka asks if they are for her cover identity, and Yor confirms it with a tender look on her face.

Olka's son starts to cry, reminding Yor of their plan to go outside. Olka stops Yor to lend some clothes for a disguise. When they go outside for fresh air, Olka is wistful about leaving her old life behind. Her son starts to sneeze, so they decide to head back. Yor promises to give it her all and finish the job for Olka and her son. Olka is moved and reveals that her son's name is Gram, named after her father, and offers to let Yor hold him. Unbeknownst to them, their conversation got captured by a listening bug, which an informant uses to locate Olka's room.
