In this brief scene, Desdemona explains to the sea god that she has lied to him and that she will help him make up for his mistakes. She tells him that he must have been disappointed in the future, and that he should have witnessed the future together with her. She also tells him to look out for the people of the world, as there is a great earthquake and a red cloud in the sky. She promises to take care of the place, and tells everyone to gather there. She says that if she had told the truth, she would definitely not back down, and she promises to tell the truth when she returns. The scent of a familiar enters her and she realizes that it is someone she knows. She asks the man if he is her petitioner, and he says that he is. She remembers that he promised to tell her a secret when he returned. He tells her that he asked her to teach him how to write down his wishes in a lantern, and when he returns, he will tell her the secret. He says that his wishes are to be with her, not as a friend.
