The next axiom to consider is the following:

Here is how to justify this axiom, using the iterative conception. Suppose $a$ is available at stage $S$, and $b$ is available at stage $T$. Let $M$ be whichever of stages $S$ and $T$ comes later. Then since $a$ and $b$ are both available at stage $M$, the set $\{a,b\}$ is a possible collection available at any stage after $M$ (whichever is the greater).

But hold on!{} Why assume that there \emph{are} any stages after $M$? If there are none, then our justification will fail. So, to justify Pairs, we will have to add another principle to the story we told in \olref[sth][z][story]{sec}, namely:
