Inside the treehouse, Buddy and Dad are getting a feel for the layout. It's pretty cozy, and Buddy's doing its best to calm down with its doll and marimo friend. Dad's trying to preoccupy it with making a cozy nest out of pillows and asking about its doll. Buddy is quiet at first but says its doll's name is Susie, and that Susie isn't afraid of anything, ever.
Dad says it's okay to be a little bit afraid, since that keeps you on your toes. Being scared of things is safer than thinking you can take on things you can't handle, and if Buddy works at it, it'll overcome its irrational fears. Buddy asks if dad really thinks so, and dad assures it that she KNOWS so. Susie told her so, she makes sure to add, and Buddy starts giggling all over again.
