It's morning, and we're introduced to a new character: the part-timer. He's just returned from a long day at work, and he's happy to be back. He thanks his co-worker for saving him. He tells us that he felt like he was "similar to no problem" when he first came to work, but now he feels like he is "herinner self" and wants to see her "that kind of curiosity" was what moved him at first. He asks the co-timer if there's anything wrong with the pant, and she says there isn't, but she'll have to go back to work anyway. She sighs and says she's feeling lonely, so she needs to go home. She asks the pant owner if he'll let her go to the lounge. The pant owner says yes, but he can't bring himself to let her out of her hiding place. He says he won't tell her what's going on, and then he turns the switch on and says he'd like to serve some water to her, but it's a broken one.
