At the beginning of the story, Odd is listening to very obnoxious music whilst Ulrich is studying for an exam (the music titled "Glad when You're Bad"). He claims nobody knows who wrote it. After Odd starts urging Ulrich to listen to the music too, Ulrich leaves and goes to Jeremie's dorm, where Jeremie is working on a robot. Odd continues listening to the music but suddenly faints on his bed as Kiwi jumps around, barking.
