The colony full of red ants was looking better than ever. Certain areas had to be reconstructed due to a flood that happened on the day that General Mandible died. His position was now filled by Cutter, and Weaver had been promoted to his former position as the colonel. Princess Bala was taking charge of the colony, along with Z. Z used to be a worker. After impersonating a soldier and traveling to Insectopia and back with Bala, he became a leader of the colony. One of the things that did not change was that he still had therapy sessions. They were, however, with a better therapist.
"I feel like my life has changed for the better," Z said. "There's just one thing, though.
"What would that be?" Dr. Thorax said.
"I just feel a lot of pressure," Z said. "The whole colony is depending on me now. I don't feel like I'm fit to be a leader. I wasn't even fit to be a soldier."
"And yet you survived," Thorax said. "It's natural to feel a lot of pressure from this."
"That's easy for you to say. You don't know how this feels."
"Oh really? Don't you think that I feel nervous having to give a leader advice about how to gain the confidence to run a colony?"
"There you go with that mind-blowing psychiatric stuff," Z said. "But you're right."
"I know I am," Thorax said.
Z walked around the room and then looked at the colony.
"We really have come a long way, haven't we?" Z said. "The whole place seems brighter than before."
"Thanks to that whole that you made," Thorax said. "And that new swimming pool is making lots of people happy. All the workers love going into it during their breaks."
"I think I'm gonna be alright," Z said. "Thank you, doctor."
"Thank you, Z."
