Luo asks if he can accompany him to the doctor's office, but the doctor is cold and serious. He tells Luo that he has known him since they were wards 1 and 2, and that the woman in ward 1 has collected his pictures every year. Luo says that he reminded the woman to not stare at his pictures for too long, and she did it for his guilt and remorse . He says that she forgave him for such a mistake, but that he can't forgive a coward like that. The doctor tells him that Luo has been missing from the lab for three days, and he is unable to find him. He calls the family, but they are unwilling to tell him anything. When he goes to the Luo house, he is prohibited from entering, and there is an anxious voice outside the door. It is the voice of his parents, who have returned to their country.
