He reaches a building and involuntarily passes through a wall, revealing it to be [[Mr. Fox]]'s house. Mr. Fox is talking about [[Boobafina]] in his sleep. On a nearby couch, he notices that Mr. Fox's astral body is present and can see him. He asks whether he can see him, to which he replies with some weird questions again. Again Finn's body starts to move involuntarily and he bids Mr. Fox goodbye.

As Finn starts ascending into sky, he speaks to himself, saying that the fox looked lonely. Soon, nearby, [[Bounce House Princess]] notices the time is 1 A.M and sends the kids inside her outside, telling them that they don't have to go home, but they can't stay there. Finn floats after Bounce House Princess to a cave, which is neatly decorated inside, revealing it to be Bounce House Princess' house. Finn arrives behind the princess, who doesn't notice Finn. Bounce House Princess starts to apply some cream and comb her hair. Soon, a light banging is heard and a porcupine enters nonchalantly during which Bounce House Princess is freaked out by it. The porcupine starts to make itself comfortable and eats some sandwiches. Bounce House Princess starts to get panicked and enters a room labelled the Panic Room. Finn also enters the room.

. Finn arrives behind the princess, who doesn't notice Finn. Bounce House Princess starts to apply some cream and comb her hair. Soon, a light banging is heard and a porcupine enters nonchalantly during which Bounce House Princess is freaked out by it. The porcupine starts to make itself comfortable and eats some sandwiches. Bounce House Princess starts to get panicked and enters a room labelled the Panic Room. Finn also enters the room.
Inside, Bounce House Princess is trying to calm herself, when she notices that the porcupine is nearing the Panic Room. It accidentally enters the right code and enters the room. Bounce House Princess drops her food out of fright, which the porcupine starts to eat. Bounce House Princess calms herself by reasoning that the porcupine may not be a threat after all. She comes to a conclusion to stay still to avoid contact with the porcupine. A large "pop" can be heard after Finn ascends upwards out of view of Bounce House Princess.

**At first, Finn encounters Mr. Fox's astral form. Instead of exploring the night using his astral form like Finn, Mr. Fox stays idle in his room playing Sudoku by himself. Finn even notes Mr. Fox's loneliness as he floats away. Mr. Fox's appearance suggests how one can choose to lead a life of idleness and loneliness rather than a life of fulfillment.

**Finn floats away and finds Bounce House Princess terribly frightened by a porcupine. Right before she is about to have a nervous breakdown, Bounce House Princess reprimands herself for closing off to other people and not putting in the effort to get to know them. In the end, Bounce House Princess gets deflated by the porcupine; a representation of the anxiety one faces when meeting new people and the realistic suffering that may happen when the meeting does not work out. Although meeting new people is an uncomfortable situation, Bounce House Princess points out how letting an opportunity to get to know a person pass by is equivalent to the loneliness of never getting to know the person at all.

**Next, Finn sees the Ice King struggling to fit in at a cloud kingdom party. In a sense, Ice King also feels loneliness as he is incapable of conforming to his surroundings and peers. Finn floats away sympathizing Simon's alienation but also reasons that Simon himself causes his own isolation by not really wanting to conform in the first place. Finn ponders why anyone would choose not to fit in. Simon's scene exhibits how one can choose to lead a life of nonconformity, despite it being a lonely life, because that is simply part of one's identity.

**Shortly after, he witnesses the birth of a space lard. Finn wonders again if the greatest creative force is in fact the birth of new life.
**This culminates in Finn's discussion with [[Grob Gob Glob Grod]]. During their discussion, Finn asks Glob if birth is the greatest creative force of all then is everything after that "a disappointment, slowly entropying into a deflating pile of mush"? Glob responds that "it's not enough to have created something amazing"; similarly how his Martian super society should not go to waste after it has been built. Finn remarks what is the point of building the Martian society in the first place if it is about to be destroyed by the comet in a few moments. In response to this, Grob Gob Glob Grod fling themselves at the comet, resulting in a huge explosion and the diversion of the comet toward Earth. This could be construed that how one chooses to lead his or her life, be that it may be idleness, loneliness, nonconformity, sadness/anxiousness, or suffering, is an equally important part of creation and creativity as birth. Alternatively, it may be that the preservation of creation, in this case Mars, is as important as the moment of creation itself.

*Finn questions the sympathy he feels for Ice King, wondering if he maybe wants to be crazy, or if there is an incentive to being so weird.

*It is unclear if Martin's spaceship was already damaged before impacting with Grob Gob Glod Grod.
If so, this might explain its comet-like appearance and trajectory. Alternatively, the spaceship's appearance and trajectory might have been intentional, or a result of Martin's normal irresponsible attitude.
