The Koala Ant tells Kite his story: before becoming an Ant, he was a hitman for the Mafia, ordered only to pull triggers and kill strangers, obeying without a moral question. Becoming an Ant changed nothing: he kept living the same way. Now he chooses to stand with Kite and share her burden, so that his life counts for something. Ging has already left — he will wait at the top of the World Tree.
