The potion has been made, but the rings are the only magic left. They must wear them all the time, and then they can return the energy of the dream. They put them on each other, and the ritual is complete. The narrator asks why they are acting like they are exchanging rings at the wedding. He wonders if it's because they're going to see each other later. They go to a specialty store to buy some items to bring back to the city for the summer. They don't know why he took her from him, but he doesn't want to believe that he ran away the day after their quarrel. He asks why he hasn't seen him for years, and he wonders if he's meeting up with Kui again. He wants to know why Kui ran away from him the day before, and why he didn't feel guilty about it. Kui says that he thought it through that day after the quarrel, and that he had planned to support Kui and Kui's going to be together. He's shocked that Kui left Kui alone the next day, and says he can't understand why he thought Kui would feel guilty after all. He also asks why she didn'T just say that they were engaged, and she says that she should have.
