Episode III: Kisah Paradoks Fermi (The Fermi Paradox), is a play about psychotic delusions about the existence of alien life forms, and the existentialist dilemma on God’s existence.
Episode IV: Kisah Teori Kewujudan Zarah (The Particle Theory of Matter), is a play about death, the soul, and the existentialist acceptance on the probability of non-existence.
