We’re back in Amsterdam for what's turning out to be an incredibly long tour for Paperboi, also known as Al. Darius and Al have decided their day will consist of eating a "Nepalese Space Cake,” which is probably laced with Nepalese hallucinogenic honey, though nobody knows for sure what's in it, while Earn thoughtfully purchases them a trip to the day spa for afterwards.
Al (who’s rocking a groovy purple hat that Darius compliments) and Darius head to get the cake after Darius artfully dodges splitting the bill at the cafe where they all met up earlier. On the way there, Al sees a person wearing a 'Goofy' hat, lying in an alleyway, moaning and shaking. Darius waves him off before he can investigate further, telling him to come on so they can get their cake. When they arrive at the space cake/coffee spot, Darius is told he doesn’t have enough money for that either. “I’ll just let fate take care of it,” he concludes, closing his eyes and seeming to meditate on the spot as Al rolls his eyes from behind, before begrudgingly offering to pay for it. Seriously, Darius? Since when has he been this obnoxious?
After they eat the cake, Darius provides Al with a soundtrack for his trip, Stereolab's "The Flower Called Nowhere." It isn’t long before he accidentally loses Darius (after having a creepy run-in with a dead rat on the street) who’s trying to lead them to the spa, which means he's now running around Amsterdam with no security. Lo and behold, a group of nihilistic teens spot him, thanks to his groovy purple hat, and promptly begin following him in an ASAP Rocky style. Al dodges them by dipping into a dark building, watching through the cracked door as the teens lose interest in chasing him and proceed to grab a woman’s baby from a stroller and play catch with it.
Al hears a woman crying in the building and turns to console her, only to be shushed by her when he asks what’s going on. She’s actually in a play of some sort, and it turns out he’s wandered into some elaborate museum where he promptly runs into a woman named Lorraine.
