- The final section! Gerry, still sitting alone, hears new, silent voices. They welcome him.
- He senses their warmth and wisdom. They introduce themselves, each having a separate personality and stature. But in terms of volume, they're all the same, equally near.
- The feeling he shares with them is one of happy, fearless, silent communion or belonging.
- They're young immortals, but older than Gerry's gestalt is. They've inspired humanity's creators across history. Gerry asks the voices who they are. They say they're Homo Gestalt. He asks why they didn't reveal themselves before. They explain he wasn't completed yet.
- Gerry asks if the ethic is what completed him. They confirm it. They say multiplicity is their first characteristic, but unity their second. They say he needs to understand they're parts of humanity, a greater being. This is getting so deep.
- Gerry realizes he's ashamed of things humans do to one another, but which humanity as a whole cannot do. He says the voices punished him for his bad deeds. They respond that he was simply quarantined, shut off.
- He asks if Homo Gestalt is responsible for humanity's accomplishments. They deny it, saying they share and that they simply are humanity.
- Gerry says humanity has been trying to kill itself. They answer that a nuclear war might make it seem that humanity is failing now, but in terms of all history, a nuclear war is just a short moment.
- Homo Gestalt merges their memories and intellects with him. Gerry realizes Hip's ethic was too small, for this humanity is a wise force that will not hurt others wrongly. It's a guardian. It's described not as an exterior force or god in the sky, but a laughing thing with a human heart and reverence for its human origins.
- He sees himself as an atom and his gestalt as a molecule. The voices are parts too, and all of these parts are joining together to make what humanity will become.
- This vision makes Gerry feel worship, which he identifies as self-respect. With his strange eyes crying, he thanks the Homo Gestalt voices.
- Now humble, he joins their company.
