Chapter 8

"Needle of a Clock" is the eighth chapter of Tsuyoshi Takaki's Heart Gear manga.

Summary
A flashback is shown wherein Zett cuts Roue's hair which resulted in Roue looking like a Kokeshi doll.

Roue wakes up and is started by Chrome's face. It stopped raining. They pack their things and stumble upon a hair salon. They were welcome by Lush, the hair and make-up artist of the Hair Salon Nine. He then asks Roue and Chrome if they need anything. Both responded that they don't really need anything. Lush then became quiet. Chrome asks Lush if he knows a certain place called "Heaven Land".

Lush then responds that he cannot answer since he is sad. Roue then agrees to get a hair cut. While giving Roue a cut, he mentions that the salon used to be a pretty bustling salon and it was not just humans but he also has gear clients.

He then reminisces about the different clients he had. Lush then finishes Roue's cut and gives her hair a little styling. Lush then tells them that he does not know the place "Heaven Land". Lush then confesses that he did that so that he could give Roue a cut since it is his base program. Lush then waves at Roue and Chrome and tells Roue to come back again once her hair grows back again.
