At night, Mo starts playing the piano, revealing that this was her surprise for Arthur, and that she had taken up playing the instrument because she saw Arthur doing so; Arthur tutors her a little in the basics of playing the piano. Mo then admits she had been looking for Arthur so she could show him her skills with the piano; when Arthur says he thought she wanted to decorate him like a Christmas tree, or send him into space, Mo replies, "You?
