Picking up where we left off, the aftermath of what happens after the seasonal scenarios.
9 happens upon a long-abandoned human dwelling. The garden's overrun with weeds and grasses, so he gets to work on restoring the garden. After he's finished, 9 rests and sees that he's not alone. 5, and the other fallen stitchpunks, have come to keep him company. 9 appreciates the gesture.
This is also where 7, 3 and 4 arrive shortly after.
