Kazumasa and the ball arrive at the Matacão. The magnetism of the Matacão pulls at the ball, throwing off their balance and giving Kazumasa a headache. Kazumasa wonders: what if the Matacão is where the ball belongs? What if this is Kazumasa’s real purpose in moving to Brazil? Kazumasa insists on walking on the Matacão itself, knowing the harm it might cause him. J.B. protests and keeps Kazumasa in the offices of the GGG building. He distracts Kazumasa with a gift, an expensive feather, and happily reports GGG will dominate the feather market. Kazumasa takes little interest in J.B.’s gift and business pitch.

At the same time, Chico Paco arrives at the Matacão and releases Rubens’s pigeon. Batista lets his pigeons free afterward. Kazumasa watches from the GGG building and is happy Chico completed his quest, although he is sad that Chico’s mission has already become the subject of gossip and misinformation. A news special reports Rubens lost his ability to walk after falling from the apartment, and that Chico’s mission helped him walk again, neither of which is true.

J.B. gives Kazumasa a tour of the building. Kazumasa takes little interest in the business but politely follows along.
